Peter Greenaway Season

108 mins – United Kingdom 1982 – Dir: Peter Greenaway
Starring: Anthony Higgins, Janet Suzman and Anne Louise Lambert

Peter Greenaway became a director of international status with this witty, stylised, erotic country house murder mystery.

Extravagant costumes, a twisting plot, elegantly barbed dialogue and a mesmerising score by Michael Nyman make the film a treat for ear, eye and mind

Peter Greenaway Season

Triskel Arts Centre is delighted to present a short season celebrating one of British cinema’s most striking and unique talents: Peter Greenaway. Three feature films will be screened. The debut narrative feature The Draughtsman’s Contract from 1982, recently restored by the British Film Institute, is a wonderfully ​​idiosyncratic tale hailed by critic Alexander Walker as “stunningly original”. A Zed & Two Noughts from 1985 has a beautiful Michael Nyman score while Philip French of The Observer wrote, “The energy is immense, the appearance of the film consistently sleek and visually exciting.” The Belly of an Architect, Greenaway’s third narrative feature from 1987, is set in  Rome and contains one of the greatest performances from the much-missed American actor Brian Dennehy.

Greenaway’s arch tale of sexual and political manipulation has not lost its power to bewilder and compel.
