Draughtsman's Contract trailer

If you enjoyed The Libertine you might enjoy this - the debut feature by Peter Greenaway who, when coupled with the music of Michael Nyman was quite fashionable in the 80s. I love this film not only for the fact that they mention Radstock in the dialogue, something to do with the gardens - which this movie is preoccupied with - but the whole ambience is one which though being very much of the period is also fresh. In fact it is one of the few films on this subject - gardens - there was another A Serpents Kiss that was a bit of a flop set in 1699 about the creation of a garden, but that's it for gardens as I can remember.
