The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) is staring with Richard Bohringer, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Alan Howard, Tim Roth, a compelling, flawed story of true crime and obsession - and its flaws are part of what make it so intriguing. the movie can be very difficult to watch; it's haunting and incredibly sad.
