2012, classic Greenaway. From "https://www.lespressesdureel.com/EN/ouvrage.php?id=4184&menu=4"

In the winter of 1590, Duch printer Goltzius seduces the Margrave of Alsace into paying for a printing press to make and publish illustrated books. Goltzius promises him an extraordinary book of pictures of the Old Testament Biblical stories. Erotic tales of Lot and his daughters, David and Bathsheba, Samson and Delilah and John the Baptist and Salome,stories in which themes of incest, adultery, female entrapment and necrophilia abound. Margrave's court is completely seduced by Goltzius' titillating storytelling, and swiftly sinks into a pit of lechery and religious politics, until the court is forced to buy its way out, and Goltzius can begin his ambitious endeavor.

Greenaway always brilliant, but this was not to my taste - probably me more than the film. And Greenaway's films do demand a larger screen. 

To see what else he's been up to (a surprising amount, really, just not all film) read the wiki on him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Greenaway
