Drowning by Numbers is a 1988 British-Dutch film directed by Peter Greenaway. It won the award for Best Artistic Contribution at the Cannes Film Festival of 1988.
The film's plot centres on three married women — a grandmother, her daughter, and her niece — each named Cissie Colpitts. As the story progresses, each woman successively drowns her husband. The three Cissie Colpittses are played by Joan Plowright, Juliet Stevenson and Joely Richardson, while Bernard Hill plays the coroner, Madgett, who is cajoled into covering up the three crimes.
The structure, with similar stories repeated three times, is reminiscent of a fairy tale, most specifically 'The Billy Goats Gruff', because Madgett is constantly promised greater rewards as he tries his luck with each of the Cissies in turn. The link to folklore is further established by Madgett's son Smut, who recites the rules of various unusual games played by the characters as if they were ancient traditions. Many of these games are invented for the film, including:
A film by Peter Greenaway Trailer edited by me. I wasn't particularly fond of the original trailer made for this film. It didn't capture the mood of the film or properly showcase the great soundtrack. This is the trailer I came up with.

Drowning by Numbers - Peter Greenaway "The object of this game is to dare to fall with a noose around your neck from a place sufficiently high enough off the ground, such that the fall will hang you. The object of the game is to punish those who have caused great unhappiness by their selfish actions. This is the best game of all, because the winner is also the loser, and the judge's decision is always final."

Theodore Kuchar/National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine Along with his score to Kozintsev's King Lear (1970), Shostakovich's score to Kozintsev's Hamlet (1963 - 1964) is commonly said to be the best of his film scores. The intensity of mood, the concentration of its effect, and the originality of the themes elevate the score far beyond the music for the many propaganda films Shostakovich scored in the late 1930s and again in the late 1940s and early 1950s. But it is the overall integrity and sincerity of the music that elevate the Hamlet music to the highest levels of Shostakovich's art.

Peter Greenaway CBE, one of Britain’s most ambitious and controversial directors, looks back on his a filmmaking career spanning 50 years, musing on the essence of cinema, the notion of realism and “the enslavement of narrative.” After initially training as a painter, Greenaway began making his own films in 1966 with his first short Death of Sentiment, before making films including: The Draughtsman’s Contract, A Zed & Two Noughts, Drowning by Numbers, the controversial but critically acclaimed, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, starring Helen Mirren, and his latest film Eisenstein in Guanajuato. He received a BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema in 2014. Greenaway’s other credits include art installations & exhibitions, documentaries and mockumentaries, opera and...

[This video was created for preview purposes only. If you enjoy this musical work, please support the artist.] Album: Decay Music (1976) Music composed and performed by Michael Nyman. "1-100 was composed on 19 December 1975 as a sound track for a film by a friend of mine, Peter Greenaway. This film consists of the numbers one to a hundred, shot in an assortment of locations and contexts and edited in sequence. Peter Greenaway asked me to find some musical parallel for this additive arithmetic process and, additionally, to provide a rhythm to edit the numerical sequence to. [...] This recorded realisation of 1-100 consists of four unsynchronised superimposed readings. What interests me about musical processes is the fact that one can precisely specify the material and the method of artic...

It's Cicada and Spider season in Australia. So let's think back to the May (Fukushima Effect) Cicada and see how weird that was. Cicadas are curious insects who spend the bulk of their life underground doing mysterious things. Their life is bound by prime numbers and if the Cicada gets it wrong there's no other Cicadas from its brood to breed with. I also show a really unusual tiny bush Cicads that's pretty tricky to pick up. Even more tricky to make perform in front of camera.The experimental deadly spider tank is shown 10 weeks after is was started. There were two Redback spiders in there buy one female ate the other. Over the weeks I kept feeding the spider tank whatever I could. Two Preying Mantis were killed but never fed from by the Redback spider. So possibly there is something abou...

The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E-flat major, K. 364 (320d), was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At the time of its composition in 1779, Mozart was on a tour of Europe that included Mannheim and Paris. The composition's complex orchestral dynamics reflects the increasing technical competence of the European orchestra of that era and was strongly influenced by Mozart's visit to the Mannheim court orchestra during his European tour of 1777 to 1779. Mozart had been experimenting with the sinfonia concertante genre and this work can be considered his most successful realization in this cross-over genre between symphony and concerto. The piece is scored in three movements for solo violin, solo viola, two oboes, two horns, and strings, the latter including two sec...
A SYMPHONY OF FOUND OBJECTS Part I: 00:00 Part II: 14:24 "A Symphony of Found Objects" is a musical collage which synthesizes a large number of works for orchestral, choral and instrumental ensembles into an eclectic tapestry of often dense and varied textures. Taking the line of thought from those like Ives and Berio to the level of the mashup presents a huge host of musical possibilities and in this I have effectively just recreated what I would listen to with over a dozen tabs open into a single track. Below is a list of all the works used along with a link to recordings of them. I highly recommend checking all of them out (especially any you are unfamiliar with) as each are spectacular works in their entirety!!
