Leave your thoughts about Drowning by Numbers.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIts worth is drowned out by its obscurity and urge to make everything into an intellectual game. |
| User ReviewKevin LI really liked this one. Lots of over saturated colors and compulsive numerical skull-duggery. |
| User ReviewSimon CAn adult wonderland of a film, built around ascending numbers, that deals with sex, death, fate and apples. |
| User ReviewGaston SWonderfully complex, the plot is another game embedded in a number series. Baroque and twisted elegy, and again an index of life pretty much in the unique Gs style. |
| User ReviewIan LOne of Greenaway's most accessible films, due to the three central female characters. As with all of his work, beautifully structured and a delight for the senses. |
| User ReviewRalf IPeter Greenaway's best movie, beautifully structured with the usual sumptuous cinematography, themes of sex, food and decay and great Nyman score; what's not to like? |
| User ReviewDavid BClever, witty, great-looking, a real sense of development. My personal favourite of Greenaway's films. |
| User ReviewMarie Lthis is what should be taught in script class, bonkers |
| User ReviewRainer DSophisticated (as are all of Oeter Greenaway's films) and yet even more entertaining. |
| User ReviewHannele DGreenaway does it again. Three generations of women kill their husbands. You'd think at least the youngest would have had the sense not to get married. And that a kid would have the sense not to circumcise himself. Oh, well. |
