Like an "I Spy" book come to life, DROWNING BY NUMBERS, Peter Greenaway’s visually arresting, cheeky crime film about the power women hold in their marriages, comes to DGC Video on Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. With the reluctant help of the resident coroner, three generations of women with the same name —Cissie Colpitts— conspire to drown their husbands. It’s a spectacle that demands to be experienced on the big screen. The numbers 1 through 100 appear hidden in the frames over the course of the film. Can you spot them all? Cissie Colpitts (Joan Plowright) drowns her cheating husband and in the ensuing cover-up enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett (Bernard Hill), an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms. But when Cissie’s daughter (Juliet Stevenson) and granddaughter (Joely Richardson) both decide to resort to the same methods for solving conflicts with their own frustrating husbands, the Colpitts women and their repeated appeals for help begin to wear on Madgett’s conscience.

A high school clique comprised of three popular girls — Courtney, Julie, and Marcie — accidentally kill their friend Liz during a birthday prank involving a jawbreaker candy. In a desperate attempt to cover up the incident, the girls concoct a series of lies, but their plot begins to unravel when the socially awkward Fern Mayo stumbles upon their secret and is transformed into the stylish and confident Vylette. As the cover-up becomes increasingly complicated, the film explores themes of deception, power, and high school hierarchy. This film plays as a part of Digital Gym Cinema's Staff Pick series.

On a drunken walk home, bohemian drug-dealer Kumi (Kumiko Ota) discovers an abandoned building on the outskirts of Tokyo. Attracted by the vast and untapped space rampant with luxuriant vegetation, she promptly sells all of her belongings and retreats from the world. She carves an island out of the concrete squat and wiles her days away growing cabbage and expressing herself in any way she pleases. Following his gonzo hachimiri (8mm) debut "Saint Terrorism" (1980) and the memorable "Carnival in the Night" (1981), Masashi Yamamoto offers his defining punk statement. Winner of a Special Mention at the 1987 Locarno International Film Festival, Robinson’s Garden is a rare, radical vision of a marginal, multicultural Tokyo. Think Punk Rock rather than City Pop (the soundtrack features Jagatara, Hamza El Din, and Yoichiro Yoshikawa), this film offers a stark contrast to the sights of financial prosperity brought forth by the films of the Economic Bubble era. Lensed by Tom DiCillo ("Living In Oblivion," "Johnny Suede"), it instead shares much in common with the No Wave films the cinematographer pioneered alongside Jim Jarmusch ("Stranger Than Paradise"). An unsung, anticapitalist masterwork. This film plays as a part of Digital Gym Cinema's Staff Pick series. ROBINSON'S GARDEN has been selected by the cinema's Exhibitions & Marketing Coordinator, Laurie Piña. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram
