A stunning new print of Peter Greenaway's acclaimed first feature, a satisfying complex Jacobean murder mysery set in an English country garden during the height of a late 17th century summer. A draughtsman hired to execute 12 drawings of an estate negotiates terms to include the sexual favours of his employer (Janet Suzman). But when a corpse is dragged from the moat, the draughtsman's designs may reveal more than he realised.
"Exotic, Erotic and Utterly Enigmatic" - Time Out
"Its pleasures do not fade... One can still marvel at this cerebral romp of a film that combines both 17th century country house murder mystery with a witty treatise on sex, lies and draughtsmanship" - The Guardian.
