They may be unaware that Gambon was a highly regarded theatre actor, then an award-winning TV favourite, then an art-house film star, before he became a Hollywood celebrity and national treasure.

Key Points: 
  • They may be unaware that Gambon was a highly regarded theatre actor, then an award-winning TV favourite, then an art-house film star, before he became a Hollywood celebrity and national treasure.
  • Much of the film takes place in Le Hollandais, an upper-class restaurant where Spica, his gang and his wife, Georgina (played by Helen Mirren), dine every night.
  • The opening scene involves Spica exhibiting cruel, sadistic tendencies toward a debtor – I’ll spare you the unpleasant details.

A violent man realised

    • From there, things become more violent and veer into the barbaric and perhaps obscene.
    • The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is a graphically violent work of art-house cinema.
    • The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is about human relationships but also touches on the importance of food in our culture.
    • Set in a restaurant, food plays a central role and the boundaries of it are played with to extreme and uncomfortable ways.
    • Cut through the noise with a carefully curated selection of the latest releases, live events and exhibitions, straight to your inbox every fortnight, on Fridays.

    • In 1986, he starred as lead character Philip Marlow in the TV playwright’s most successful and seminal work for BBC TV, The Singing Detective.
    • It was a towering performance which would go on to win him the Bafta for best actor in 1987.

Swashbucklers, gangsters, aristos

    • In 1985, Gambon took the title role in the three-part BBC2 serial Oscar, about the life of Oscar Wilde.
    • This gained him critical praise and TV industry attention ahead of being cast in The Singing Detective.
    • By the end of the film, Spica embodies all the horrors of conspicuous consumption Greenaway clearly loathed about the 1980s.

Older wiser characters

    • Though he retired from the theatre in 2015, Gambon continued to act in film and TV until just before his 80th birthday.
    • It was that mesmerising combination of rage and vulnerability that always made him a compelling screen actor to watch, making audiences always care about the characters he inhabited.
