  • The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (1989)
    Review preview for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover

    A work of brilliance, painful as a punctured lung, fierce, uncompromised, operatic, sexual, startlingly beautiful and yet poisoned with evil.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Darkly comic horror about sex, murder and food.
  • The Draughtsman's Contract (1982)

  • Eight and a Half Women (1999)
    Brothel barminess.
  • Eisenstein In Guanajuato (2015)

    Eisenstein is embodied by the fabulous Elmer Bäck, who gallops at the role in the way Liberace might have plunged into a haberdashers.

  • The Tulse Luper Suitcases: Part One The Moab Story (2003)

  • A Zed & Two Noughts (1985)

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    Two brothers become obssessed with decay after the simultaneous deaths of their wives.
