Tagline: The great death game.
Plot: Three generations of women with the same name have rid themselves of their unwanted husbands in the same manner - they drown them. The local coroner agrees to declare the deaths accidental in return for sexual favors. But when things don't go exactly as planned, he devises a final game that could result in the undoing of them all. A darkly humorous, twisted rendering from grim auteur Greenaway, boasting his trademark lush production design (marked by the sequential appearance of the numbers 1-100), surreal touches (like the fanciful voiceover narration delivered by a death-obsessed boy), and unflinching depictions of sex, nudity, and violence.
