Anastasiia Tumys presents this darkly comic and visually stunning meditation on death, desire, and the rules that govern our lives. Drowning by Numbers is a uniquely twisted tale from visionary director Peter Greenaway. The film follows three generations of women—all named Cissie—who conspire to murder their husbands, all while engaging in a playful, almost ritualistic game of numbers. With its meticulous compositions, surreal humor, and richly layered symbolism, this is Greenaway at his most playful and provocative.
A true cinematic artist, Greenaway trained as a painter, and his films reflect a belief that cinema is first and foremost a visual medium, where images reign supreme over words. Often constructing his films with the precision of a Renaissance painter, he approaches storytelling from a near-divine perspective—shaping worlds with obsessive attention to detail. Drowning by Numbers sits alongside his other masterful works like The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and The Pillow Book, each a testament to his unmistakable vision.
Join us for a screening of this audacious, artful, and wickedly clever film. As always, bring your thoughts and theories—we’re counting on a lively discussion!
