Plazadrome presents: Peter Greenaway’s THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, and HER LOVER Thursday, February 20th at 9 pm.
Inside the walls of Le Hollandais restaurant, churlish mobster Albert Spica (Michael Gambon) lords over all, bullying anyone and everyone in his path. When his disillusioned Wife Georgina (Helen Mirren) sets her sights on a bookish, sensitive figure in the dining hall, the two lovers embark on an affair aided by the restaurant’s Cook, that will upend the power structure of their rigid, dystopian world.
In this opulent drama placed within one of the most triumphantly stunning displays of mise-en-scène ever put to film, Director Peter Greenaway takes aim at conspicuous consumption, Thatcherism, and anti-intellectualism, crafting a tale of Jacobean revenge that is uniquely poised to meet our current political moment. With cinematography by Sasha Vierny, Costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier, and music by Michael Nyman, it can’t be missed! Come indulge in this timely feast for the eyes on the big screen for one night only in stunning 35 mm, Thursday February 20th, 9 pm. Ticket link in bio.
