Der Kontrakt des Zeichners (1982)
England, 1694: Der ehrgeizige Landschaftsmaler Neville wird engagiert, um den Landsitz der adeligen Herberts in Südengland auf zwölf Bildern zu verewigen. Er lässt einen dreisten Vertrag für seine Dienste aufsetzen, der ihm auch diverse erotische Gefälligkeiten von Mrs. Herbert zusichert. Doch dann wird Neville in einen Mordfall verwickelt und findet sich im Zentrum eines gefährlichen Intrigenspiels wieder. In seinem ersten Spielfilm gelang Peter Greenaway mit prachtvollen Bildern und der wunderbaren Musik von Michael Nyman ein ironisch-satirisches Lügen- und Intrigenspiel im England des 17. Jahrhunderts.
