-
"A highly controversial and distinctly original work of cinematic art fashioned by writer-director Greenaway."
- Andrew Sarris, OBSERVER -
"This is a shocking, confrontational film that is intended to disturb. It is also an adult film in the best sense."
- John Hartl, SEATTLE TIMES -
"Greenaway -- inspired by Jacobean revenge plays and Dutch masters' paintings -- stuffs the viewer with ripe images and raw language. He tests your appetite for intelligent sensation. For many it may be a daunting test, but it is worth taking."
- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE
