Greenaway, best known for The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), A

Drowning by Numbers (1988), and his most successful film, The
Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), as well as
Prospero's Books (1991), has said Lucca Mortis "is the story of

any cause can be described as natural.
"He wants to make his death elegant and sensible, fearless and
forthright," said the 82-year-old Newport Wales born director.
