No Peter Greenaway fans in this little boat, I see. Maybe “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover” was just too exhaustive for the regular moviegoer of that period. (I don’t think it was his only one that year, either.) Still, there’s something to be said for the hyper-English Sturm und Drang comedy, particularly one by Greenaway, particularly in a year when Stanley Kubrick had nothing to show. A pivotal film in my experience, several years removed though it be. I certainly won’t say “It brought down the house!” with such careless gusto ever again.

Thanks Jason, I’ve been looking for some 80s horror gems.

Fantastic detective work Ludvig!
…I’m still a fan of the Mondays, so it was nice to see the video again and confirm that it truly exists.
