tricky and extremely cleverJune 04, 2003
Though not the most visceral of Greenaway's films, it is a textbook art film, meticulously organized, and requisite viewing for obsessive-compulsives.October 16, 2007
Its worth is drowned out by its obscurity and urge to make everything into an intellectual game.August 21, 2002
Stylish, adult entertainment from Greenaway
