MotW for March 19 - The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover

No, this was not a 4-film bonanza, but rather the rather very long name of a very complicated movie. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover was controversial when it was released in 1989, due to its sexual and violent content. The plot can seem a little convoluted, but as an example of Formalism in Cinema it is wonderful.
