Description

Beautiful to behold and impossible to forget, THE PILLOW BOOK is auteur Peter Greenaway's erotically-charged drama about love, death, revenge and the indelible nature of our earliest memories. Each year on her birthday, Nagiko (Vivian Wu) would became her father's canvas, as he painted the creation myth in elaborate, elegant calligraphy on her body. Years later, she continues the practice with a succession of lovers, including a bisexual translator (Ewan McGregor) who becomes a pawn in an escalating game of vengeance against her beloved father's exploitative publisher. Official Selection - Cannes Film Festival.

    Have you ever been so startled and horrified by something that tears involuntarily spring to your eyes? That's what happened to me during this movie. I do not exaggerate when I say that I whispered "oh my god" over and over with a hand over my eyes, rocking back and forth slightly. I had to look up videos of puppies just to make myself feel better. If someone suggested watching this film again, I would literally flee the country to escape.
