The Draughtsman's Contract (1982, реж. Питер Гринуэй): котирую, надо бы пересмотреть еще раз. Если постараться описать суть короткой фразой, то вот: смесь Blow-Up и The Wicker Man.

... in Greenaway's world, systems or codes of any kind are treated as inadequate, hopelessly subjective fantasies that deserve contempt, not respect. Categorical thinking claims it makes the world easier to understand; Greenaway maintains it distorts the world by forcing it into unnatural categories. Many of his films satirise catalogues and organising principles, firstly by presenting absurd examples of each, and secondly by structuring events around them ... Paradoxically, as much as he distrusts systems, he sees them as the only viable alternative to narratives, which 'do nothing more than illustrate text'.
