Yesterday [2005/04/21], Russian nation-wide TV Channel Россия, broadcast Peter Greenway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Isn't there is something very Greenwayish in the image of 40 million people turning their TV sets on to relax after a hard day only to be confronted with what can be only viewed, but not described?
PS: I just [2025/05/11] noticed that the TV program above hilariously lists the movie as „Киноакадемия "Повар, вор, его жена и ее любовник". Режиссер О. Стоун. В ролях: Т. Круз, У. Дефо (США)“ (Film Academy: The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, directed by O. Stone, starring: T. Cruz, W. Dafoe (USA)). Imagine mixing Greenway's movie with Born on the Fourth of July.
