Das Wunder von Macon (1993)

Das Wunder von Macon: Directed by Peter Greenaway. With Julia Ormond, Ralph Fiennes, Philip Stone, Jonathan Lacey. A movie about the corruption in all levels of society. A baby is born from a supposed-to-be virgin woman, so a chain of hysteria about divine intervention in the birth takes place.

“Oh, the humanity! I have deep admiration for the man that is Greenaway. The Baby of Macon is a masterwork that is really above criticism. The imdb reviews are pretty much what I would expect from people who live by the credo u0026quot;ignorance is blissu0026quot;. They are shocked. They are apalled. They are horrified. How can this film be viewed as anything less than indulgent maniacal trash, they say.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, of course, they must be correct. After all, with all the nudity and curt cursed characters who exist in a red world of servants and oblivious royalty embroiled in seemingly pointless situations…..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHuh? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo sum up, come to Greenaway when youu0026#39;re ready for him. He is so far ahead of modern cinema that heu0026#39;ll be dead 60 years before people start to call him the greatest filmmaker of all-time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the nudity? All you u0026quot;appalledu0026quot; juveniles are just upset that it is unerotic. You sick perverts.”
