This or a A Zed And Two Noughts???

I`ve seen The Cook, The Thief and Drowning by Numbers and loved them both, not too sure about 8 1/2 women or The Pillow Book.

Basically I can only really afford to buy one, but not sure weather to get this or AZATN?? What do you think?

The cheapest i can find them is about 13 quid each.

Draughtsman's Contract is just more satisfying (to me). One of my all-time favorite movies. ZOO is certainly worth seeing, though, but if I could only buy one, it would be Draughtsman.

I'd buy "The Pillow Book" first than either TDC or AZATN, but since you didn't like it that much, I'd say buy "A Zed & Two Noughts". IMO is "slightly" better.

I'd buy this first, it is my favourite Greenaway film .

I hope you didn't waste your money on ZOO. It's not one of his best, in my opinion. The Pillow Book is vastly superior, as well as TDC.

I liked ZOO and TCTTHWAHL better than TDC and TBOM, FWIW.
