... the entire film is designed to look like a Rembrandt canvas, right down to the careful composition of the players within the frame.

What truly galls is that Greenaway has the germ of a great movie here.

Like making a biopic about Michelangelo and casting Benny Hill in the lead role.
09/13/07
...the dialogue's hyper-intensity is the whole point, and Greenaway frames it with a heavy reliance on set design, rather than his usual use of overlapping images.

There's a zest for life in almost every frame
