This film introduces more than a dozen various games that British people love; they are run through by numbers, and these numbers appear in front of the eyes or fill people's eardrums all the time. The film shows three generations acting in unison against their tiresome marriage. The doctor as a gambler freed the three of them, but the doctor himself suffered the same fate as the three husbands. The director hinted: Everything in life is just a game, just as the doctor in the film did, it will eventually be "submerged" in the numbers of the game. The editor Peter Greenaway is a painter. This black comedy, immoral poetic story is full of beautiful English countryside and looks pleasing to the eye. His other film "The Painter's Contract" won a special award from the Chicago Film Jury, "making him one of the most unique directors in the world."

Drowning by Numbers quotes
-
Smut: The object of this game is to dare to fall with a noose around your neck from a place sufficiently high enough off the ground, such that the fall will hang you. The object of the game is to punish those who have caused great unhappiness by their selfish actions. This is the best game of all, because the winner is also the loser, and the judge's decision is always final.
