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.
