PETER GREENAWAY’S DROWNING BY NUMBERS PREMIERES ON UHD IN MARCH

On March 28th, Severin Films presents the World UHD premiere of DROWNING BY NUMBERS, the 1988 classic written and directed by Peter Greenaway hailed as “formidable” (The New York Times), “enthralling” (The Washington Post) and “brilliant” (The Los Angeles Times). This two-disc collection (UHD + Blu-ray) has been produced with the enthusiastic participation of Greenaway. 

In between his celebrated THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT and THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE & HER LOVER, writer/director Peter Greenaway – “one of the most distinctive, provocative talents of his generation” (The Guardian) – shocked/delighted international audiences with this slyly deranged black comedy classic: Oscar® nominee Dame Joan Plowright (ENCHANTED APRIL), four-time BAFTA Award nominee Juliet Stevenson (TRULY MADLY DEEPLY) and two-time Golden Globe nominee Joely Richardson (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO) star as three generations of women who murder their husbands in an unsettling salvo of sumptuous visuals, macabre capers and numerical mischief. Bernard Hill (THE LORD OF THE RINGS, TITANIC) co-stars in this “fascinating brain buster of very bad manners” (Entertainment Weekly), now featuring new scans from the original negative personally supervised by Greenaway and a webstore exclusive slipcase designed by the director.
