          • Trivia
            As explained in a section of the film DVD (in reference to the "The Absence of Pubic Hair in Art"), Peter Greenaway wanted the actresses in this movie have their pubes shaved for the nude scenes. Anne Louise Hassing said that showing her completely naked body including her shaved labia wasn't that bad. "Of course, I had some concerns about the nude scenes, but my agent got some clauses posted and they were fully respected. And when I first started filming, I felt like nudity actually became my costume because Peter Greenaway's pictures are so beautiful," she said.

            Hendrick Goltzius: Every new technology is expensive, and sooner or later every new technology gets into bed with lechery.

          Torture
          I really think this could replace water boarding. I know they were going for artistic but they accidentally landed on...odd.
