There are all kinds of visual clues going on in Greenaway films; eg: in "Drowning by Numbers" there's a game played early in the film where as players lose they have to go into a funeral "winding sheet"; the sequence with which each of the characters loses the game is the same as each player dies in the film later
Other loose ends + red herrings Greenaway never ties up....
I'm also not at all concerned with his films perfection or lack thereof, I think he's an inventive, original + imaginative filmmaker
