Belly of an Architect, The: Dual Format Edition [Blu ray + DVD] 
Greenaway, Peter; Release date: 18 June 2012
Visually striking and formally precise, The Belly of an Architect features a nuanced, muscular performance by Brian Dennehy as the distinguished American architect Stourley Kracklite, in Rome with his young wife, Louisa (Chloe Webb), to supervise an exhibition devoted to his hero, the visionary eighteenth-century architect Etienne-Louis Boullee. Stourley honours the past at the expense of his present, driving the neglected Louisa into the arms of his rival Caspasian (Lambert Wilson). Wracked with abdominal pains, jealousy and paranoia, he slowly loses his grip on all that is important to him.
