A Greenaway and Pleasant Land?
Peter Greenaway 's visually stunning and disturbing films often use human game-playing to make a balance between romantic dreams and obsessive order. In his new project, Drowning by Numbers, he develops these themes in what he calls 'a black comedy of love and death', concerning three women who drown their husbands. The cast includes Joan Plowright and Bernard Hill. Mark Steyne visits the film location in Suffolk to ask Greenaway about this experiment with contemporary English manners.
