THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
Written & directed by Lech Majewski, UK/Italy, 2004, 105 minutes

Working from his own novel Metaphysics, writer-director Lech Majewski (Glass Lips, Gospel According to Harry) crafts magic in The Garden of Earthly Delights intimate passion plays, which are filled with loving detail (Village Voice) and creates a luminous, highly erotic treatise on art, love and death (Chicago Reader). When London art historian Claudine (Claudine Spiteri) meets engineer Chris (Chris Nightingale), it is love and lust at first sight. But their spiritual and erotic connection is threatened by a devastating and deadly illness. Her remaining days on earth numbered, Claudine chooses to fan the flames of her obsession with Hieronymus Bosch by taking her lover on a trip to Venice, where the artist s work becomes the background for their physical passion and emotional discovery. Like Dante s Beatrice, Claudine becomes Chris guide into a labyrinth of sensuality, love, death, regret and redemption.

Grand Prix 2004 Rome International Film Festival
"Stunning visuals and a sizzling performance by Claudine Spiteri: You're going to love this film and run out to see everything Majewski has directed."
V.A. Musetto New York Post

The Garden of Earthly Delights is among the most powerful films made in years.
Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post, 10 August 2007

There is magic in The Garden of Earthly Delights' intimate passion plays, which are filled with loving detail and are mounted without a hint of pretension. Each moment becomes achingly gorgeous, not least because of Claudine Spiteri's disarmingly straightforward performance. The movie's philosophy is lucid and humane: Life is precious because it is short.
R. Emmet Sweeney The Village Voice, 13 June 2006


"Abiding intelligence!"
Time Out, London, 2007

"This film puts to shame most other love stories in its honesty. Within a very philosophical framework, Majewski manages to tell an astonishingly human story. The staggering weirdness of being human - frail, material, dependent, and filled with ideas and aspirations that transcend everything - is the most surreal of all visions, and Majewski captures it. 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' is among the most powerful films made in years."
Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post

The Sleeping King
By Ben Rostul

During a time of great civil unrest, Merlin prophesised the coming of the Sleeping King who would awake and unite the people of Britain; Shakespeare called him the magician , the landless poor called him their saviour.

Owen Glendower’s revolt was the last inspiring and despairing attempt to save a world lost forever… even from the dreams of men.

By the time his courageous and bloody revolt was over he was a legend.
He never surrendered
He was never betrayed
His grave was never found
Some say he is only sleeping
