<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Ferocious performances from Michael Gambon and Helen Mirren animate Peter Greenaway's provocative satire of 1980s England, a country he portrays as debased by unchecked greed and the ceaseless vulgarity of its ruling class — a diagnosis that continues to resonate in our present moment. After an appallingly boorish mobster takes over an upscale French restaurant in London, his embittered wife escapes the monstrousness of her marriage through an impassioned affair with one of the regulars, a liaison that will ultimately imperil them both.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>"Greenaway is now beyond question the most exciting intelligence at work in our cinema." </i>- Sight and Sound</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>"Give or take another masterpiece coming down the pike, this intricately assembled, viscerally provocative tract on consumerism gone full and grisly circle, is without a doubt, the most accomplished, astounding film of the year."</i> - Washington Post</span></div></div>CrimePT2H4MRated 18A2026-09-26FRen
