Peter Greenaway

The Draughtsman's Contract (1982)

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

Ever since I've watched these films in 2010, I tried finding an "absurd-er" movie. Yet, until now, I haven't found a single movie that reminds me of a Greenaway's style: fascinating--or rather, horrendous--absurdity hidden beneath extremely detailed Baroquian touches.

"I consider that 90% of my films one way or another refers to paintings." - Greenaway
