En el verano de 1694, el señor Neville, un prometedor y ambicioso dibujante, visita la mansión y las propiedades del señor Herbert en Compton Anstey, Wiltshire. Venciendo sus reparos iniciales, Neville acepta un encargo de la mujer de su anfitrión para entregar doce dibujos de la casa con el foso y sus exquisitos jardines. Durante su estancia, Neville se ve envuelto en una intriga doméstica que lo convierte en sospechoso no solo de adulterio sino de muchas otras cosas. (A Contracorriente Films)

Reseñas (1)
The Draughtsman's Contract somewhat reminded me of the famous film Blow-Up with its style and atmosphere. The plot itself is not very relevant, but Peter Greenaway's film captivates through the atmosphere of the noble estate and the society that occupies it, with all its small contradictions, passions, and intrigues, along with the visual aspect of the film. The director is interested in the psychology of the characters, and the relationship between dominance and subordination, which can change and overcome social conventions under pressure from circumstances. Fans of history and visual arts will enjoy the film, as it is a delight for the eyes to simply observe the creation of individual graphics and the accompanying creative process. The actual point of the story is not very prominent, and I wouldn't classify the film as a historical detective story. It is rather a tragicomedy with plenty of decadent elements in the behavior of the main characters. Overall impression: 75%.
