Our screening on 4 January is the latest discussion hosted by Oscar nominated composer Gary Yershon. Gary's guest is John Wilson, BAFTA and Emmy nominee, one of the UK's most distinguished editors. His early career was notable for his collaborations with Peter Greenaway, including superb work on The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.


Peter Greenaway directs this culinary tale of passion and revenge. An arrogant gangster (Michael Gambon) invests in a popular French restaurant, which he begins to frequent with his wife (Helen Mirren) and a band of crooks. He delights in humiliating his spouse, and, when she begins an affair with another patron (Alan Howard), the restaurant's cook (Richard Bohringer) tries to protect them from her husband's wrath.
