THE EARLY FILMS OF PETER GREENAWAY 2
Vertical Features Remake | The FalIs
He has other reputations as well as an academic, as a maker of curious artefacts, as a cataloguer of the bizarre and as a Iibrarian of the absurd.
Greenaway might as well have been describing himself in this thumbnaiI sketch of Canton RemodelI, a character in an unmade project. Before The Draughtsman's Contract Greenaway had made a series of highIy inventive films which estabIished alI the obsessions that run through his later work. ln Vertical Features Remake, a playful parody of avant-garde theorising, academics argue about the work of TuIse Luper, Greenaway's best-known fictionaI character. The Falls is divided into 92 biographies of peopIe who have alI been affected by the VUE , the Violent Unknown Event, a phenomenon in some way connected with birds and flying. MichaeI Nyman provided the score for both fiIms.
DVD extras incIude a Galley of Artworks, a GalIery of Archives, filmed introductions to both films by Peter Greenaway pIus hidden features.
