Unexpectedly, Greenaway could direct such a classic suspense film, and thought he was only interested in the love of men and women!
The script of this film is extremely complicated, like a big Agatha Christie work. The heroine said that the script was so thick, it was the thickest script she had ever received, and it was full of high-class language, but she liked it when she saw it.
This film takes place before the rise of Britain in the seventeenth century. At that time, the upper class was wearing exaggerated fake powder and thick white powder on the face. The red tape became more complicated and boring, but the heart became more empty and intolerable. A manor is holding a banquet, and the owner of the manor who is about to go out talks about love affairs with his friends and friends, and plans to go out again for pleasure. He is indifferent to his wife. A new and handsome painter peddled his talents to the hostess. The two signed a contract. The painter drew a total of 12 pictures with the manor as the background, each of which was 8 shillings, plus the hostess's service. The painter was complacent and arrogant. The next day, he started taking action, choosing the most representative locations of the manor to paint one by one, and rudely let the hostess accompany him.
The painter who thought he was taking advantage, did not expect to fall into a big trap.
The ending is like Agatha Christie. Everyone is a murderer. They killed the host for property. All of this was planned by the hostess. The purpose of serving the painter was to borrow seeds. Once planted, people can be killed. Those paintings were burned.
