The Garden of Earthly Delights

2004 NR 1h 43m 6.5

After she learns that she has cancer of the larynx, Claudia decides to spend her days in Venice. Her obsession with Bosch leads the two to make a garden's visions real through sensual close-ups.

Based on his own novel Metaphysics, Lech Majewski crafts intimate passion plays and creates "a luminous, highly erotic treatise on art, love and death" (CHICAGO READER). When a terminally-ill art historian meets an engineer, it is love and lust at first sight. But their love is threatened by her looming illness. With her remaining days on earth numbered, she chooses to fan the flames of her obsession by taking her lover on a trip to Venice, where the artist's work becomes the background for their physical passion and emotional discovery.
