synopsis


A startling and challenging voyage into the taboo worlds of sex and death from Peter Greenaway. When wealthy Swiss architect Philip Emmenthal (John Standing) takes financial control of a group of Pachinko game parlours in Japan, and puts his strange son Storey (Matthew Delamare) in charge, his life takes on a whole new meaning. For, in the wake of his wife's death, Storey leads his shattered father into a self-revelatory journey of erotic discovery and spiritual lust. As the pair travel between Tokyo and Geneva acquiring exotic lovers on the way, their Geneva home becomes a high class brothel where nothing is forbidden and everything is explored for maximum understanding of their own male sexuality and humanity. Full of the shocking images and no-holds-barred sensuality that he is universally acclaimed for, Greenaway's movie is a thought-provoking, Fellini-esque masterpiece.
