The Early Films of Peter Greenaway 1

 

  Written and Directed by Peter Greenaway

UK 1969-1978 / Drama / 87+16 min / Color / Black & White / Monaural / 1.33:1 Original Aspect Ratio / PAL /  English Language

The BFI presents the definitive collection of Peter Greenaway's early works.

The content of the six films on this volume varies widely - the potted history of 37 people who have fallen to their deaths from windows (Windows), a sequence of 92 maps to guide a dead ornithologist on his way into the afterlife (A Walk Through H) - but all the films are immensely playful and take pleasure in cataloguing the absurd. Composer Michael Nyman started his career with Peter Greenaway and contributes a thrilling score to A Walk Through H.
