Plot
Twin zoologists study decay after their wives die in a car crash.
Sinekatalog’s take
Peter Greenaway's visual feast follows twin zoologists studying decay after their wives die. Dense, rotting and symmetrical, with Michael Nyman's score, it is a dark, baroque puzzle both repellent and mesmerising.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
