The very ample one, to be precise, and very troubled one, of Brian Dennehy, who has come to Rome to organize a tribute to his 18th-century idol, Etienne Louis Boullée, a "visionary architect" who actually built "virtually nothing." Peter Greenaway, of The Draughtsman's Contract etc., manages to compress the most spacious settings to very near two dimensions, like theater sets or architectural drawings (beautifully lit and shaded ones, admittedly, by the peerless French cinematographer, Sacha Vierny). In similar fashion, the juiciest of thematic concepts -- art, food, fertility, immortality -- have been squeezed down to the driest pulp. You may feel it's all very good for you, but you may also feel like joining Dennehy on either of the two occasions he vomits on screen. With Chloe Webb and Lambert Wilson. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
