Draughtsman's Contract, The

Gorgeous scenery and ostentatious period costumes highlight this delightfully witty, clever, captivating, and erotic, 108-minute, 1982 Peter Greenaway murder mystery set in 1694 in which an English socialite (Janet Suzman) coerces a talented, egotistical artist (Anthony Higgins) to make twelve elaborate drawings of her countryside estate for her absentee husband (David Hill) by agreeing to compensate him both with money and intimate bedroom liberties.
