The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Helen Mirren,Tim Roth,Michael Gambon,Ciarán Hinds

The wife of a barbaric crime boss engages in a secretive romance with a gentle bookseller between meals at her husband's restaurant. Food, colour coding, sex, murder, torture, and cannibalism are the exotic fare in this beautifully filmed, but brutally uncompromising modern fable.—Keith Loh
