The Early Films of Peter Greenaway 2 (2 disc)

 

  Written and Directed by Peter Greenaway

UK 1969-1978 / Drama / 224+7 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.

In Vertical Features Remake, a playful parody of avant-garde theorising, academics argue about the work of Tulse Luper, Greenaway's best known and recurring fictional character, who is also featured in his new trilogy The Tulse Luper Suitcases (2003), screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Falls is divided into 92 biographies of people who have all been affected by the 'VUE', the Violent Unknown Event, a phenomenon in some way connected with birds and flying. Michael Nyman provided the score for both films.
