A landscape of lust and cunning
Directed by Peter Greenaway, starring Anthony Higgin, Janet Suzman,
Peter Greenaway became a director of international status with this witty, stylised, erotic country house murder mystery. An ambitious draughtsman is commissioned by the wife of an aristocrat to produce drawings of her husband's estate, in return for which he will receive payment, board and bed - hers. Extravagant costumes, a twisting plot, elegantly barbed dialogue and a score by Michael Nyman, make the film a treat for ear, eye and mind.

£8, £6 Friends, includes glass of wine and prize draw for the catalogue of the current exhibition, Painting Family: the De Brays, Masterpainters of the Dutch 17th Century
