Movie Review - The Draughtsman's Contract

The Draughtsman's Contract (1982)
directed by Peter Greenaway
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on VHS from As Seen On TV

Late at night, this is just the sort of movie that's strange and engaging right up to the moment when it's suddenly very tiresome. What I like in Greenaway's work - a kind of magical, very literary pastoral - makes him interesting more than good. "Draughtsman" does have comedy, though, much to its credit.
