Today we’re joined by Bilge Ebiri, one of the country’s leading film critics for Vulture and New York Magazine, to tackle Peter Greenaway’s most disturbing film. The British director may be best known for his 1989 arthouse classic THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE & HER LOVER, but he made several other singular, controversial, and often shocking films in the 80’s and 90’s. Perhaps the most shocking of all is 1993’s THE BABY OF MÂCON, which distributors found so disturbing that it wasn’t seen for years in the U.S. and has still never had an official North American release. Now that it can finally be streamed, we see what all the fuss is about and if there’s any saving this baby from the bathwater.
