Drowning By Numbers (1988)

Peter Greenaway's darkly comic mystery "Drowning by Numbers" follows three generations of women, all named Cissie Colpitts, who each drown their husbands and rely on a local coroner to cover their tracks. The film's stylized visuals and dry wit made it a fixture of British arthouse cinema in the late 1980s. Joely Richardson appears as the youngest Cissie, and her performance includes several scenes of nudity that fans of the genre still seek out. The archive here holds 5 scenes pulled from the film, showcasing Richardson topless and bare in sequences that lean into the movie's frank, unflinching tone.
