Drowning by Numbers (1988)
Directed by Peter Greenaway
Cissie Colpitts drowns her cheating husband and, in the ensuing cover-up, enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett, an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms. But when Cissie's daughter and granddaughter—both also named Cissie Colpitts—decide to resort to the same methods for solving conflicts with their own frustrating husbands, the women and their repeated appeals for help begin to wear on Madgett's conscience.

What critics compared Drowning by Numbers to
Not since Peter Greenaway’s Drowning by Numbers (1988) has a camera filmed vases of flowers with such exquisite, painterly precision.
Only Peter Greenaway ("A Zed and Two Noughts," "Drowning by Numbers," "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover") comes to mind as a director who creates such precisely crafted and emotionally cool works.
