Director Peter Greenaway is scheduled to be present.
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is both adored and detested for its combination of sumptuous beauty and revolting decadence. A vile, gluttonous thief spews hate and abuse at a restaurant run by a stoic French cook, but under the thief’s nose his wife conducts an affair with a bookish lover. Clothing changes color as the characters move from room to room. Nudity, torture, rotting meat, and Tim Roth at his sleaziest all contribute the atmosphere of decay and excess.
