About this product

Product Information

Master director Greenaway (THE PILLOW BOOK) outdoes himself with this grisly fairy tale. The thief, Albert Spica, (Gambon) is a gangster, repugnant and boorish, who holds court at the same table in his opulent restaurant every night surrounded by his lackeys (Tim Roth and the late Ian Dury included). When his cultured and repressed wife Georgina (Mirren) becomes magnetically attracted to a solitary diner in the restaurant, the two begin a secret affair under the nose of her dangerous husband. With the help of the restaurant's chef, the time the lovers share is kept secret from the vicious Albert...for a while. Despite the breathtaking production design and artful camera work, this violent, disturbing and very darkly comic work is not for everyone. Those with the stomach for it, however, will reap generous rewards.

    As described. Solid price. Packaging wasn't accurate for shipping this type of item. It had no secure boarding to protect the book. It did arrived bent and bowed. I am not upset with the seller by any means because I knew (based on the variety of items in their store) that this type of item isn't their normal products. I just recommend some sort of cardboard backings with the magazine/comic securely in between them for shipping. Long-time collectors and buyers will appreciate you more for it.

  • This movie was hard to swallow.

    I'm not a cannibal, so, I didn't get excited with the last scene and the hero being cooked and laid out on the table. Too much emphasis on food and the villain was over-the-top. I wanted him dead after the first scene because of the way he treated the Helen Mirren charcter and others. The principal reason I purchased this film is because I am a fan of Helen Mirren and have seen most of her movies. I'm also a fan of her body and wanted to see her naked in a way that was more direct and up-front. I wanted to see her full-frontal and that did not happen. Once again, a director played around with showing her naked, being artsy about it. So, there were many quick shots and strange angles in which she is naked, but not in a way that I found acceptable. In answer to The Question, I would not buy ...
