• They may be unaware that Gambon was a highly regarded theatre actor, then an award-winning TV favourite, then an art-house film star, before he became a Hollywood celebrity and national treasure.
• Much of the film takes place in Le Hollandais, an upper-class restaurant where Spica, his gang and his wife, Georgina (played by Helen Mirren), dine every night.
• The opening scene involves Spica exhibiting cruel, sadistic tendencies toward a debtor – I’ll spare you the unpleasant details.

A violent man realised

• From there, things become more violent and veer into the barbaric and perhaps obscene.
• The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is a graphically violent work of art-house cinema.
• The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is about human relationships but also touches on the importance of food in our culture.
• Set in a restaurant, food plays a central role and the boundaries of it are played with to extreme and uncomfortable ways.
• Cut through the noise with a carefully curated selection of the latest releases, live events and exhibitions, straight to your inbox every fortnight, on Fridays.

• Gambon was also a titan of the theatre.
• It is through film and television most audiences know Gambon and these are the media through which his image and presence will continue to circulate far into the future.

The acclaimed Singing Detective

• Indeed it was another Potter – Dennis, not Harry – through which Gambon first became a household name.
• In 1986, he starred as lead character Philip Marlow in the TV playwright’s most successful and seminal work for BBC TV, The Singing Detective.
• It was a towering performance which would go on to win him the Bafta for best actor in 1987.

Swashbucklers, gangsters, aristos

• In 1985, Gambon took the title role in the three-part BBC2 serial Oscar, about the life of Oscar Wilde.
• This gained him critical praise and TV industry attention ahead of being cast in The Singing Detective.
• By the end of the film, Spica embodies all the horrors of conspicuous consumption Greenaway clearly loathed about the 1980s.

Older wiser characters

• Though he retired from the theatre in 2015, Gambon continued to act in film and TV until just before his 80th birthday.
• It was that mesmerising combination of rage and vulnerability that always made him a compelling screen actor to watch, making audiences always care about the characters he inhabited.
