Identical twin zoologists replace mourning with decay. The dark comedy landed really well, and the film perfectly turns grief into procedure until systems eventually consume their creators. The cinematography is stunning, shot by Sacha Vierny in his first collaboration with Greenaway, after working with Buñuel on Belle de Jour and with Resnais on Hiroshima mon amour. Michael Nyman’s score fits perfectly. Also, I love the snails <3. Just brilliant. Greenaway at his best.
