You've actually made me want to delve into the ouevre again. I think I've only ever seen The Draughtsman's Contract, The Cook et al and The Pillow Book, so there's a lot of catching up to do.

I often play Michael Nyman's Purcell-esque soundtrack to The Draughtsman's Contract, which conjures up much of the plot, dialogue and visuals. Must get the DVD.

I loved the baroque excess - musical and otherwise - of The Cook. I remember a work colleague, seeing me with 'someone new' at a showing, saying 'I hope this isn't a first date!'. (It wasn't. Still together 20 years on, she still talks about 'that ghastly film you dragged me along to'!)

I fell asleep in the The Pillow Book, despite having been a long-time fan of Sei Shonagon's book. I had just got off a long flight, though. Big mistake.

Anyway, thanks - and to you, tinear - for the nudge.
