Not his best work. Delamere is really bad, and Wu is completely miscast as a Japanese translator (because they all look the same, right?) who seems like she can barely speak the language. There are some brilliant conceits (loved the opening credits), but it often feels choppy and incoherent.

Not one of Greenaway's high points, but not as bad as its reputation suggests. It largely depends on how much you buy into the conceit. At first I resisted it, after a while I started to get into it. As a tribute to Fellini, the connections are rather fleeting, but I enjoyed the basic idea of the plot, and its resolution. The dialogue, however, bugged me. The absurdly frank sexual discussion just doesn't work on any level, and by the 7th time I heard someone say "prick" I was bored with it.

"Audiences at Cannes are notorious for their volatility. Yet, few receptions in the festival's 51-year history have been as hostile as that accorded Peter Greenaway's self-regarding tribute to Federico Fellini. Impassioned charges of misogyny were hurled at both director and picture."
