Talk:The Draughtsman's Contract

message: :Image:TheDraughtsmansContractDVD.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The article currently describes The Draughtsman's Contract as a "British comedy-drama film", previously as a "British mystery comedy-drama film", and prior to that as a "British film". While there are elements of black or absurd comedy, to me the film seems to be essentially not a comedy. Can we come up with a better description? Period mystery drama?

replies: text: That struck me as well. I think Wikipedia--and people in general--have a compulsion to define and categorize everything and everyone, often to the point of distraction and misdirection. So I might err on the side of "British film" or "British period film". Eric talk 12:24, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

message: I believe Pwyll is the source of this claim but I don't have access to the book to check or put the page number.  I think I got it through interlibrary loan, but I may have just gotten it from the public library. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 14:44, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
