synopsis

The Draughtsman's Contract is a visual and narrative treat and established Peter Greenaway as one of Britain's most original and talented filmmakers. Set in the opulent 17th Century when double standards between the sexes prevailed, this elaborate conspiracy thriller tells of an opportunistic and ambitious draughtsman who becomes involved in domestic intrigue and blackmail in an elegant country house. The film features a brilliant soundtrack by composer Michael Nyman.
