The Baby of Mâcon (1993)

In 17th-century Tuscany, a church play is performed for the benefit of young aristocrat Cosimo. In the play, a grotesque old woman gives birth to a beautiful baby boy. The child's older sister is quick to exploit the situation, selling blessings from the baby, and even claiming she's the true mother by virgin birth. However, when she attempts to seduce the bishop's son, the Church exacts a terrible revenge.

Really strange film. Found out about it after watching an adaptation at an amateur theatre school. Interesting idea and execution. The theatrical set was perfect, the whole "filming a play" style is what made it "bearable" and actually like a distorting mirror of our reality. Not for everyone though.

This is a wild one -- perhaps best described as the document of a "snuff play" being staged in the 1600s? The enclosed play concerns a hideous old woman who gives birth to an improbably beautiful son. The woman's virginal daughter (Julia Ormond) passes off the child as her own, and proclaims him a messiah-like miracle. He is worshipped for a time, but eventually, the people turn against him and his mother. This rather simple story is lavishly obfuscated and complicated with director Peter Greenaway's usual baroque treatment. The sets and costumes are spectacular and, as always, there is plenty of frontal nudity (yup, Ralph Fiennes shows his wee-wee). Three particular scenes are grotesquely violent and bound to turn off many viewers, but if you can get past the first few minutes -- where a naked, twitching, undead lunatic sputters some opening lines so laboriously that you won't even understand all the words -- you'll probably be able to stomach the rest of the film without any real trouble.

I couldn't get passed the play-in-film approach, and the entrapment of settings and events never provided adequate escapism - characters just seemed limited and static. But such perverse and over-the-top dialogue and twisted scenes (With only one scene that is truly twisted) almost made up for that. Aberrant performances and actions. Sometimes hypnotic because of the set pieces and echoing voices, other times just plain freaky.

Verstörend, blutig und für mich einfach zu "hoch". "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" von Peter Greenaway fand ich genauso unverständlich. Und eigentlich hab ich diesen Film auch nur geguckt, weil ich wissen wollte, wie groß die Rolle von Ralph Fiennes ist... wiederholen würd ich's nicht.

I still hate this obnoxious flick, I thought to give it a try but no no no, pretentious crap. The Draughtsman's Contract, Zoo, The Belly of an Architect and Drowning By Numbers are all minor masterpieces but something happened and PG lost something...? A TV Dante was good. Well maybe he's coming back to line 'cause I liked those Rembrandt -movies (documentary was better).
