Title: Gay Viewers Beware!
Product review: Peter Greenaway has made one of the most homophobic films in the history of English-language cinema. The plot simply boils down to this: A young woman takes vengence on the wealthy gay man who seduced her father (leading to his suicide) and whose lover she also loved. Replace "the Homosexual" with "The Jew" and you'd be back to the Nazi-era atrocity "Jud Suss". Fortunately, all of this is wrapped up in an artsy enough packaging that most of the queer haters would find the movie incomprehensible. But, somehow, the art-house audiences are caught up enough with Greenaway's visual smoke and mirrors not to realize what they're watching either. A truly evil piece of work.
