Commentaries
What would you do if your darling wife slept with a worker from the meat factory? Slam the door, start a brawl, drink? Whatever you do, don’t talk to strangers, particularly sweet pensioners who carry a bottle of powerful poison. You might just end up poisoning your wife, her lover, and possibly your mother-in-law. And then…you might find yourself dining with Pope Alexander VI, the Queen of France Catherine Medici and Emperor Nero caught up in a world history of poisoning. All this really happens in Karen Shakhnazarov’s bizarre and fantastical black comedy.
