Friday 28th February 6:00 PM - Studio (TBTL)
The Draughtsman's Contract
Director:Peter Greenaway
Cert:15 Year: 1982 Length:108mins
Country:UK
Peter Greenaway's sumptuous visual feast is shown as part of the Janet Suzman retrospective. Witty, clever, bizarre, complex, tantalising – a true cult movie.

Not forgetting the soaring soundtrack from Michael Nyman, this opportunity to see (and hear) The Draughtsman's Contract again on the big screen is not to be missed.
