In Reply to: Any Peter Greenaway Fans Out There?? posted by rufus on October 26, 2002 at 23:04:26:
A Zed and Two Noughts, Prosperos Books, The Draughtsmans Contract, The Baby of Macon are also almost equally great
The only film I've never thought much of Greenaways was The Pillow Book, his last I believe
I think his finest work is Prosperos Books, Shakespeares "The Tempest" and least accessible play, he makes this look like an Elizabethan oil painting come alive. Of course having Sir John Gielgud as Prospero doesn't hurt...

Follow Ups:
You and Harmonia actually managed to sit through the Prosperos Book? You are Men of Iron.I can't say I really love him, he is way too pretentious to my taste, but I love certain elements of his films. If the Cook was reduced to about 15 minutes, that would make it worth going to see and pay $10 ticket price. But at two hours it is boring and bordering on extremely poor taste.
On a completely unrelated issue, I love Montenegro. No idea why I am mentioning it here, but there. The scene where she chases the fly in the bedroom is one of the best in the world cinema, and the two guys dancing to ABBA is unforgettable.
Victor, you made my day, I haven't thought of Montenegro in years - Yugoslavs and gypsies!
