        Overview

        Visiting Rome to curate an exhibition of the problematic 18th-century French neoclassical architect Étienne-Louis Boullée, American architect Stourley Kracklite finds his health, marriage and mental wellbeing under threat the more he loses himself in his work.

        Employing the use of symbolic imagery, symmetry and foreshadowing, Greenaway brilliantly creates a work that is accessible and striking, aided in no small part by Brian Dennehy’s powerful performance.
