    Postage was timely, packaging was good, the product was as described, and the value for money was great. As for the film script and the acting, it was poor, but this excellent supplier can’t be blamed for that.

    Mirren & Gambon at the top of their game

    Along with 'Prospero's Books' this is my favourite of Peter Greenaway's films. His movies don't always hit it off (always a risk with experimental works) but this film gets 10 out of 10 for all the right reasons. Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon both clearly revel in their respective roles. Gambon as a misogynistic gangster and Mirren as his classy but bullied wife. The backing soundtrack from Michael Nyman glides wonderfully through each scene and the ever changing costumes are a delight. This is art dressed as film - a well crafted masterpiece and recommended.

    It is as it says on it's cover

    This not a movie for thoughs that are squeamish or easily offended it is a well made movie can only recommend it to open minded viewers it's one of them films that should be 21 plus. But should not be censored

  • Michael Gambon at his VERY BEST!!

    This has to be one of(if not the) strangest films I have ever seen but it also is the funniest (as long as you have a warped sense of humour like us)!!

  • Fabulous Peter Greenaway film - can't recommend enough

    Wonderful acting, cinema photography, narrative, script, mix of sensuality and sexuality, danger and safety, greed, possessiveness, murderousness and revenge, culinary delights and incredible pulsing film score by Michael Nyman. Whats there NOT to love...absolutely nothing!
