The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (HD) Trailer

http://www.moviespoilersite.com The wife of a barbaric crime boss engages in a secretive romance with a gentle bookseller between meals at her husband's restaurant. Food, colour coding, sex, murder, torture and cannibalism are the exotic fare in this beautifully filmed but brutally uncompromising modern fable which has been interpreted as an allegory for Thatcherism.

I LOVE how the trailer gives so little away while still giving you a flavour of the taste required for the film. I wish more trailers were like this.

Michael Gambon is superb and creates a memorable monster. Helen Mirren looks breathtakingly beautiful in an underrated classic.

Cook represents God, lots of symbolism points to this, the kitchen is like church, big stained glass windows, pup the kitchen boy is Jesus or a saintly figure, Wife and her lover are Adam & Eve, thief is satan

[salvadoraugustus]

Cook represents civil servants and dutiful citizens

Thief represents Thatcherite arrogance, crassness and greed

Wife is an abstract notion of Britannia

Lover is the ineffectual leftist opposition led by intellectuals who can only theorize about change rather than do anything to actively promote such change.

And the H's, so rich and pure!

The beggining of this movie is wierd but as you continue to watch it, the dialouge makes you think...

Doesnt the crime boss in this movie look like Richard Kuklinski the famous hit man called the iceman!
