Title: poor video quality
Review: The image quality on this DVD is quite poor. It appears not to have been remastered. Greenway unfortunately has a habit of shooting scenes with deep shadows (I think he got Rembrandt to do the cinematography) and this results in very murky images at the best of times. In this case it was little different to watching a video.The film is typical Greenway with the usual highly contrived stylized acting and dialogue. The number puzzle certainly drives the film forward but I'm damned if I can see all the numbers! After a Draftsman's Contract, drowning by numbers has one of the more coherent plots to follow. But who cares, its the images that are the best bit. Turn the sound and have it as ambient electric wall paper at a dinner party!
