Every night, mobster Michael Gambon drags long-suffering wife Helen Mirren and a retinue of henchmen (including Tim Roth) to the high-end Le Hollandais for a sumptuous meal. But when he discovers her affair with a customer, Gambon commits an act of gruesome violence, and she stages an elaborate, full-course revenge. With costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier and a score from his longtime collaborator Michael Nyman, Greenaway’s arthouse blockbuster still shocks and surprises.

Screening as part of Late Night Favorites: Spring 2026
