If you liked it you will probably enjoy most of Peter Greenaway's work. I particularly liked "Prospero's Books" and "A Zed and Two Naughts"

Some of his later stuff is really experimental but the score's for many if not all of his films like The Cook the Thief his Wife and her Lover are done by Michael Nyman and they are all haunting and dramatic.
