Two sets of identical twins are accidentally switched at birth. One pair, Phillipe and Pierre DeSisi, are aristocratic and haughty, while the other, Charles and Claude Coupé, are poor and dim-witted. On the eve of the French Revolution, both sets find themselves entangled in palace intrigue.
Peter Greenaway'in yönettiği film, 16. yüzyıl Hollandalı ressam Hendrik Goltzius ve tiyatro kumpanyasının hikayesidir. Goltzius, bir matbaa makinesi alabilmek için Alsas Beyi'ne cinsel tabuları konu alan altı İncil hikayesini (Lut, Davut, Samson vb.) sahnelemeyi teklif eder. Film, Greenaway'in kendine özgü teatral ve tabloyu andıran görsel stiliyle sanat, erotizm, din ve sansür arasındaki ilişkiyi sorgular. Sahne ve gerçekliğin iç içe geçtiği, entelektüel ve cüretkar bir yapımdır.
The Pictorians have arrived from deep in space. They also have dangly glow-balls on their heads, which is kinda cool, but still. The freaky aliens are using use their crazy rainbow-beam-thingy to paint everything on Earth the same color: white! See, now the title of the movie makes more sense, right? Anyway, if the Pictorians are to be stopped, the Allied guys and the Axis boys - plus some new characters, too - must set aside their differences, unite against their common foe, and hopefully get together for a sweaty workout to make sure they're super-ready to save the world!
