Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, The (1989) Iconoclastic filmmaker Peter Greenaway outdoes himself with this darkly humorous Jacobean fairy tale of eating, love, sex and death.Accidental Tourist, The (1988) The Accidental Tourist is a quirky movie which manages to be intelligent, funny and deeply moving.In the 1980s his cinema flowered in his best-known films, The Draughtsmans Contract (1982), A Zed & Two Noughts. Great I thought, this means that its gonna be a gritty hard hitting film just like SCUM or APOCALYPSE NOW or all these other films that contain the warning ' Contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing '. I read in the tv guide that this film ' Contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing '. Welsh film director, screenwriter and artist. I saw A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS in the spring of 1987. Eat The Rich (1987) Peter Richardson's film is more of a student prank than a subversive satire in the tradition of Buñuel's The Exterminating… 1985 film written and directed by Peter Greenaway.The best is saved for last, with an extraordinary final sequence where the two men attempt one final act of release, accompanied by The Teddy Bear’s Picnic and an uninvited multitude of snails. The sadness behind the extravagant imagery and the twin’s relationship with Alba is palpable. Peter Greenaway’s highly stylised filmmaking isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but for those who thrill to his often jaw-dropping compositions, A Zed and Two Noughts is essential viewing.

Two women passengers die but the driver, Alba Bewick survives with a leg amputation.

They both have sex with her so she has twins. She has her other leg amputated, goes off with a double amputee and the dad’s commit suicide. A car collides with a swan outside a zoo. They become romantically involved with the driver of the fatal car crash, Alba (French actress Andréa Ferréol), who lost a leg in the collision. Following the deaths of their wives in a car crash, doctors and twin brothers Oswald and Oliver Deuce (Brian and Eric Deacon) channel their grief through an infatuation with time-lapse images of decomposing nature (from fruit to animal carcasses) and watching documentaries and chewing glass.
