A movie about the corruption in all levels of society. A baby is born from a supposed-to-be virgin woman, so a chain of hysteria about divine intervention in the birth takes place. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
But yeah, there are such intense scenes here that it gives you chills, it can also be off-putting, but with its strangely dark bloody poetry and baroque arrogance, that film just didn't captivate me. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that this is a film you don't see every day, and as a overall experience, it's unique. Still, I don't think it will draw me to Greenaway.
