The Films That Shaped It

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

1989

I’m a huge fan of Peter Greenaway, and particularly ‘The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover,’ which is one of my favorite films. When I was starting out, it felt like an incredibly rebellious act. The bravery of it, the absolute singularity of it… it’s a film that stays with you. I watch it at least once a year. It’s a film that really informed my love of movies and how to make movies.
