Drowning by Numbers (1988)

Cissie Colpitts drowns her cheating husband and, in the ensuing cover-up, enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett, an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms. But when Cissie's daughter and granddaughter—both also named Cissie Colpitts—decide to resort to the same methods for solving conflicts with their own frustrating husbands, the women and their repeated appeals for help begin to wear on Madgett's conscience.

A dark and unconventional drama (with at least a touch of black comedy) from British director Peter Greenaway, which is as to expected if you have seen any of his other films of which "The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover" is probably the best known. The plot as such centers on three women from the same family all named Cissie Colpitts who each choose to drown their husbands. The film features some very unusual and disturbing but also compelling imagery. The subject matter and content is definately not for all viewers, but for those looking for something different it can be quite compelling and rewarding. The cast includes some fairly well known British actors (Joan Plowright, Juliet Stevenson, Joely Richardson and Bernard Hill) who are quite good, but the performances aren't nearly as important as the story and the visuals. One of the strangest aspect of the film is that the numbers 1 through 100 appear throughout the film sequentially thereby giving the film its title.

This is a wonderful example of artistic cinema and the imagery from Peter Greenaway is iconic, although the jury is out on whether the surreal storyline merits the same credit.

mr. greenaway integrates other activities for the viewers besides simply watching the film for plot and cinematography.

Greenaway's obsession with game playing, story telling, and formalism almost get the best of this film. But the sheer beauty of the film is enough to save it.
