About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1989. Two vintage reference photographs from the set of the 1989 film, one showing director Peter Greenaway and actors Alan Howard (the lover), and Helen Mirren (the wife), the other showing Greenaway with actor Richard Bohringer (the cook). Each photograph with a printed mimeo label describing it, and with identifying numbers 1 and 5 respectively, each affixed to the verso.
Director Peter Greenaway's most successful and also most controversial film, following a gangster's sophisticated wife as she begins a doomed affair with a patron of her husband's high-class restaurant, aided by the genteel head cook. The film garnered attention at the time of its release for its stylish but graphic violence, decadent cinematography (which was, as with many films in Greenaway's oeuvre, inspired by Flemish Baroque painting), and explicit depictions (and notions) of sexuality.
Set in the UK.
One photograph 8 x 10 inches, one photograph 10 x 8 inches. Fine.
