The Draughtsman’s Contract (Peter Greenaway 1982)
Posted on July 06 at 13.00, 2004 by Eric Mahleb
Peter Greenaway has built his entire career out of making intellectual and extremely well crafted and calculated films with limited audience appeal. The Draughtsman’s Contract, Greenaway’s first feature, has somptuous decors and costumes, incredibly sharp and witty dialogues, and a narrative that requires the viewer’s active involvement. Definitively not for everyone’s taste.
