    Not his best, but a very cerebral view at love and lust, and quite the homage to Fellini.

    Greenaway has hit a brick wall, and it's no fun to watch.
  2. It's downright boring.

    Though his film is breathtakingly art-directed, Greenaway wallows in epater le bourgeois nastiness -- his inner naughty child could use a good paddling.
