Peter Greenway's 1987 work, nominated for best screenwriter and best art director at the British Academy Award; Cannes entry. The director is a painter, and the image style of his works is naturally unique and colorful. American architect Stourley Kracklite and his pregnant young wife Louisa came to Rome to organize an exhibition commemorating the imaginative 18th century French architect Etienne-Louis Boull é e. While Kracklite suffers from abdominal problems, Louisa flirts with Caspasian Speckler, a handsome young architect who is a sponsor of the exhibition. The film has a special focus, the belly-the sick belly of the architect and the pregnant belly of his wife. The round shape is reminiscent of the domes designed by Boull é e.
