my favorite Greenaway is the Draughtsman's Contract, a story that slowly changes until what you thought you knew is not happening at all. It is not quite as visual as some of his other efforts but the story is delicious. Also try a Zed and Two Naughts - wacked to the max!

thanks

I LOVE Draughtman's Contract. - Harmonia 21:02:47 08/04/08 (0)
Saw 3x in theaters when it was first released. Gorgeous. Produced for TV in Old Blighty.

Also...I'm terribly fond of Drowning By Numbers, In The Belly Of The Architect, Prospero's Books and The Pillow Book. I was always surprised that TCTTHWaHL was an art-house hit - whooda thunkit? I guess anything's possible if Twin Peaks can be a hit TV series.

I have the series of shorts, which I find quite droll.

Greenaway is not for everyone, or even most people - he irritates the heck out of some of my best friends. The films aren't organized around typical plotlines, there's no concession to commerciality and Greenaway's uninterested in conventional narrative.

The films are highly structured however - just the opposite of David Lynchn, a filmmaker Greenaway admires. They are simply structured more like paintings or perfromance art. And he's a bit arrogant too.

I got a bootleg copy of The Baby Of Macon the this spring - my VHS player is on the fritz.
