Set in Rome, Greenaway’s visually stunning tragedy chronicles the self-destructive decline of an American architect whose obsession with his stomach causes him to lose his wife, his creativity, and maybe even his sanity. True to Greenaway’s form, The Belly of an Architect is extravagant in detail and color and is packed with symbolism, art and architecture, obsession and omens, and life and death.
