Through the past weeks, I have watched 3 amazing films, all new to my eyes,

one today being The cook, The thief, his wife and Her lover

I say this but I didn't like this film, though I kind of praise it for being in your face, but I also know that they were trying to show across how evil this guy was. I didn't like the part where he killed her lover, and to be honest I closed my eyes, I also hated that he BEAT HIS WIFE, this is an area that hurt me allot about the film...

Though with this over with, I liked the lighting used; the way her characters clothing changed with in each scene through the effect of the light, like the clothing becoming a character in its self, for her mask.

the colours used with in the film reminded me of a picture I studied in national Diploma for a short play But the colours reminded me of the painting called the suicide

(We studied the painting to re create a story represent with in the painting then turning it into a play)



The painting is by Georg Grosz.

again this painting very dark and evil like the film. and the colours also very Simula.
