\\The surprising movie that gave fame to director Peter Greenaway and to the composer M. Nyman. Title: The draughtsman�s contract. Director: Peter Greenaway. Cast: Antony Higgins, Janet Suzman, Anne Louise Lambert.  GB. 1984, 103 min. Not suitable for people under 14. The full DVD not compressed (video ts folder). Audio language: English. Subtitles English and Italian. Sorry no more languages. In the folder the script of the movie. 
Plot: the story is settled in the English country in 1694. Lady Herbert  asks  Mr. Neville to execute 12 drawings of the estate (Compton House). They are supposed to be a present for the husband when he will be back, on the purpose of making peace with him. The artist asks to be rewarded with sexual services from the lady and the details are written in a proper contract. He starts working and imposes severe limitations to the activities that can be performed in the estate when he is at work. But, in spite of  this, , the locations he is reproducing change mysteriously, things appear in the wrong places at the wrong moments and nothing seems to be as it would. He makes a point of registering things without adjustments and, so proceeding, he includes in his drawings details that could be red as clues for the discovery of embarrassing secrets, maybe even a murder. A body is actually found. Miss Herbert\'s daughter, married to a spiteful, sexually impaired and far from attractive German gentleman, has meanwhile stipulated herself a contract with Mr. Neville at conditions not very different than her mother\'s ones. The artist appears to master everything with his intelligence and rationality but things are working in different unpredictable ways and everybody around him maybe has his own planes.   

  This is an intriguing, deliberately not realistic movie, with beautiful scenery, sophisticated and amusing dialogs and bizarre inventions. It displays oddly an intricate net of symbols; nevertheless their correct interpretation is not a condition for enjoying it. Sometimes all the symbolic, allegoric equipment is maybe more deceiving than explicative and in certain moments appears a bit redundant. But it is nice to orientate ourselves or to get lost among the fragments of this puzzle, explore, successfully or not, all the possible meanings and the reasons why those strange things happen, as it was a thriller. Though this is a work very carefully and thoughtfully conceived, where very little is casual, our mind is free to follow its own paths and develop at leisure the provocative material that this movie provides. Or just enjoy the intelligent, original and entertaining show as well as Nyman music, especially the false-baroque leading theme. Great performance of Anthony Higgins. Excuse me for my English, which maybe is far more bizarre than this movie, I am Italian. This is my first upload,  I hope that everything will go well and that you will like this torrent.

Congratulations on your first torrent. And thanks very very much for not compressing the files. Compressing a movie into .RAR files, .IMG files, etc etc, as so many uploaders seem to like is such a waste of time. Absolutely nothing can be gained by compressing a movie that is already compressed using the highly efficient MPEG4 compression utilized by DVD movies. Again - thanks.
indeed, i subscribe to teh above thanks! I love greenaway, and this is one of his really good ones:)

and also, no compressing the files is a puls! a big one!
Thanx again and post more, if u can!:)
Thank you so much for the comments and for inserting the imbd (though it reports, strangely, that it is a Swedish and not British movie). I have "Drowning by numbers ("Giochi sull'acqua" for my cowntrymen), but I did not check so far if the fulldvd version is already available in this site. If it may be usefull I'll upoload it, but give me some time. (No compressing is good and it is an act of respect for good cinema, but it implies that you have to seed for a lot of time and sacrifice most of your bradband which is needed for other purposes, too.)
Thanks a lot for this upload. Any Greenaway film is very welcomed.
Please please please! If you have 'Drowning by Numbers' it is my favourite movie ever. I've been looking everywhere for it !!
Oh, do post a torrent for "Drowning by Numbers," it's a favorite movie of mine and stupidly is not availabe on DVD in the US...I'd greatly appreciate it!
O.K., look for it in ten /fifteeen days by now, some triubles at present.
Triubles= troubles, alas!
this torrent this must be some kind of a joke

the video quality of this shitty release makes my eyes hurt
Musicatore is a clueless troll. This was originally filmed on 16mm and transferred to 35mm for release. It was subsequently converted for dvd by the BFI.

The quality is a good as it gets. Thanks to the uploader.

Just need to find a copy of the 4 hour version now.
