81/2 Women

Polly Walker, Amanda Plummer
Lions Gate; Directed by Peter Greenaway
Rated R; 120 minutes; 2000		  
From the director of 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover' comes another complex tale of excess and passion. "8 1/2 Women" is a sardonic nod to Italian director, Federico Fellini and also a statement on the modern male's stereotyped notions of women. In an effort to cheer up his grieving father a man turns their Swiss villa into a sexual parlor where he can indulge his long-suppressed sexual whims. A daring and visually stunning film that's sure to get your audience talking.

 

 "Clever and visually adroit"
--John Griffin, Montreal Gazette

"Peter Greenaway is a stylist with a painter's eye. ("8 1/2 Women") is feast of artistic tableaux inspired by Correggio, Vermeer, della Francesca, Klimt, Rubens, Van Eyck"
--Alexander Walker, The London Evening Standard
