The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover

This is a soundtrack from the movie: The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover.
It is quite possible that this song may not make sense who has not seen the movie, but after seeing the movie, i love it.




This movie is directed by Peter Greenway. It was my first Peter Greenway movie. In addition to a catchy title, this movie is a fundoo arty movie. Great use of colors, lights, and, ofcourse, music! I absolutely love the character of Albert Spica portrayed by Michael Gambon. He also stars as Dumbledore in Harry Potter series and is a delight to watch after you have seen this movie.
Here is an excerpt of his lines from the movie:

Albert
: What you've got to realize is that the clever cook puts unlikely things together, like duck and orange, like pineapple and ham. It's called 'artistry'. You know, I am an artist the way I combine my business and my pleasure: Money's my business, eating's my pleasure and Georgie's my pleasure, too, though in a more private kind of way than stuffing the mouth and feeding the sewers, though the pleasures are related because the naughty bits and the dirty bits are so close together that it just goes to show how eating and sex are related. Georgie's naughty bits are nicely related, aren't they, Georgie?
