The Belly of an Architect

(El vientre del arquitecto / Le ventre de l'architecte / Il ventre dell' architetto)

(UK-Italy, 1987) [Color, 118 m.].
IMDb.

IMDb. An American architect arrives in Italy, supervising an exhibition for a French architect, Boullée, who is famous for his oval structures. Through the course of 9 months he becomes obsessed with his belly, suffers severe stomach pains, loses his wife, exhibition, his unborn child and finally his own life.

AMG SYNOPSIS: American architect Stourley Kracklite (Brian Dennehy) comes with his young wife Louisa (Chloe Webb) to Rome to supervise an exhibition devoted to Etienne-Louis Boullée, a French architect of the 18th century. Suffering from severe abdominal pains, Stourley doesn't pay much attention to his pregnant wife, and she finds consolation in the arms of suave Caspasian Speckler (Lambert Wilson). Built from rigidly symmetrical images, the film has quite an unusual subject: the belly -- both the sick one of the architect and the pregnant one of his wife, the rounded forms alluding to the spherical constructions designed by Boullée, the architect whose visionary projects seldom materialized. Beautifully shot on location in Rome, this ironic fable wittily examines the issues of artistic creativity. -- Yuri German

Sinopsis en castellano

Un arquitecto norteamericano llega a Roma, acompañado de su esposa, con motivo de una exposición dedicada al artista francés del sigo XVIII Étienne-Louise Boullée. El arquitecto, a lo largo del tiempo, se obsesiona con unos tremendos dolores de estómago, convencido de que está relacionado con que su mujer está teniendo una aventura con otro colega italiano.

Screenshots:







** Screenshots (DVDBeaver comparative. Images: 1, 3, 9, 10) **

The image looks slightly cropped in the miniSD (840x454 / AR=1.850)

Peter Greenaway's gorgeous The Belly of an Architect appears very strong on Blu-ray from the BFI in the UK. The image is thick with grain and texture, colors (reds and maroons are prominent) are vivid and I'd describe the overall appearance as being 'rich'. There is some noise in the darker sequences. The transfer is dual-layered with a high bitrate. Skin tones seem true and contrast exhibits healthy, rich black levels. Detail has impressive moments in close-ups. The 1.85:1 transfer is very clean without speckles or damage. This Blu-ray seems to be exporting a very authentic, consistent, and film-like representation of the film (Gary W. Tooze, DVDBeaver).
