Peter Greenaway’s The Baby of Mâcon is a damning, unflinching indictment of humanity. Made in the style of a stage play in mid-17th century France in the court of Cosimo Medici; the film tells the story of a baby born of an old, hideous and plague-ridden woman in the barren village of Mâcon.
Synopsis. An old woman gives birth to a baby, viewed by onlookers of what is apparently a theater. No one can believe that an ugly old woman could be the mother of such a beautiful child. A young woman (who turns out to be the old woman's daughter) claims to be the baby's mother.
