Directed by: Peter Greenaway
Starring: Time Roth. Alan Howard, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Richerd Bohringer, Ciaran Hinds

Synopsis: The wife of an oafish restaurant owner becomes bored with her husband and considers an affair with a regular patron.


An old-scholl allstar cast, in a bit older movie. Expections were high and the result was even higher. Damn this movie is twisted like hell, but you'll love it and there's nothing you can do about it. I saw dong about 4-7 times during that movie and Helen Mirrens bush atleast twice. Damn.. Actors with such a caliber naked, is something else. If the opening doesn't shock you, then wait until the endd. Lightharted people may puke. So Consider it a warning. The plot is what I love the most, but the dialogue comes close at second. The way Michael Gambon talks and acts, it's just brilliant. You have great tits like a cow - something to say to your wife infront of everybody. It just don't know what else to say about this movie, you have to see it yourself to figure out how awesome this is. Final Verdict?? Watch it, I don't know how, I don't even care how, by download, via internet, buy it even, just see this movie. God, it ain't that hard.

Also, I'm wishing everybody a good weekend. Because I really dislike Christamas, but Santa > Jesus. No offence to Christians, but you guys have to believe in yourself more. Bye.

Hmm.. a long time has passed since I last did this, but I'll give it my best. The movie is good, even if your not a cuisine or an Italian fan you'd like it. It has that little something in it that makes it good. I found it for myself and everybody else will probably also. I'm kinda drawing a blank what to write, because the synopsis is long enough and tells the entire storyline. What I'll say about the ending, without giving it away, is that it's great. A 5 minute, uncut frame. Can it get any better? Oh yes it can. It took the whole movie in to this one scene and it was just perfect. I'd shed a tear, if I could cry. The story it self will keep you interested through out the progress. It's interesting, fun and compelling. Final Verdict?? Yeah, watch it, it's a tasting experience that will last in your mouth. (I just had to say something stupid like that)
