Movie 2013.11.17 - The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

One of the stranger movies I've seen. Written and directed by Peter Greenaway. Costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier. Scored by Michael Nyman. Starring Richard Bohringer as The Cook, Michael Gambon as The Thief, Helen Mirren as The Wife, and Alan Howard as Her Lover.

Uncouth British gangster crime boss Albert holds court at the high-class French restaurant Le Hollandais Restaurant run by French chef Richard. Out of boredom and spite, his wife Georgina has an affair with restaurant regular bookstore owner Michael right under his nose. As expected, Albert gets wind of the affair and goes on a rampage. He tortures young Pup to find out their secret hideaway. While Georgina is at the hospital visiting Pup, he descends on the bookstore with his posse and tortures Michael to death, force-feeding him pages from his favourite books. Georgina implores Richard to make a meal out of Michael's body. She forces Albert to eat the human dish, and shoots him in the head.
