Synopsis

A curious tale of three women of the same name, whose solidarity for one another brings about three copy-cat drownings. Their husbands are the victims and the motive is dissatisfaction. The women are confident that their crimes will not be punished because they have in tow a coroner who loves them.

Our take

In another collaboration between cinematographer Sacha Vierny, composer Michael Nyman and the painstakingly attentive and avant-garde Peter Greenaway, this wryly comic, exceedingly clever mystery film forms the perfect puzzle. Intricate and elusive, a dark drama that’s still hugely playful.
