Van Wert, W.F. 1990. Review of “ The cook, the
thief, his wife, and her lover” by Peter
Greenaway. Film Quarterly 44 (2): 42-‐50.
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
“The best film of the year
[1989]… more perverse and
graphically daring than
anything you’re likely to see
on the screen… Lust,
murder, dessert, a delicious
black comedy by Peter
Greenaway. Bon Appebt!”
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
Cribcism of Greenaway: too intellectual, too
vulgar, too sensabonalisbc, too explicit, too
eclecbc, too controversial
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
“Greenaway has proved more erudite than any of
his interviewers/reviewers (I won’t be an excepbon
here”—the Bribsh director as a Renaissance man:
author, painter, art historian, linguist—concept of
cinema as “a total work of art.”
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
Interprebng Bribsh culture
via cinema—fact versus
ficbon—the meaning of
culture in the world today—
culture versus
mulbculturalism—
modernism versus
postmodernism—Smith
meets Greenaway
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
Pornography versus art—reproducbve
versus excretory organs—opbmism
versus realism—glorificabon of the
vulgar—rejecbng the X rabng in favor
of NR (Not Rated)—an affront to
tradibonal morality—parallel to
eighteenth-‐century pornography—
sensabonalism or social commentary
HIN 4312-‐15 Cultura Británica, Dr. Jason Kendall Moore, Universidad de Playa Ancha, Campus San Felipe, Segundo Semester 2013
Oversimplificabon of most reviews—vomibng,
urinabon, cannibalism, gratuitous violence—
controversy as a strategy for social and
personal introspecbon—the French
Enlightenment’s concept of goodness—
mulbple levels of meaning or non-‐meaning—
cinema as a game rather than a moral

Character names those of the originally
intended actors—ficbon imitabng fact—
obsessive use of names—“Mr. Spica” as a
means of expressing contempt—use of
Richard, Richie, Ricky, Boarst to strip the cook
of his Frenchness—use of names is
antagonisbc, obsessive, rhythmic, rhythmic,
and finally emblemabc of the way language
overall is used in the film: stabng, restabng,
inverbng, following asserbons with rhetorical
quesbons
