The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (1989)

Master director Greenaway outdoes himself with this grisly fairy tale. The thief, Albert Spica, is a gangster, repugnant and boorish, who holds court at the same table in his opulent restaurant every night surrounded by his lackeys. When his cultured and repressed wife Georgina becomes magnetically attracted to a solitary diner in the restaurant, the two begin a secret affair under the nose of her dangerous husband. With the help of the restaurant's chef, the time the lovers share is kept secret from the vicious Albert...for a while. Despite the breathtaking production design and artful camera work, this violent, disturbing and very darkly comic work is not for everyone. Those with the stomach for it, however, will reap generous rewards.
