THE EARLY FlLMS OF PETER GREENAWAY 1
A WaIk Through H | H is for House | Windows | IntervaIs | Dear Phone | Water Wrackets
He has other reputations as weIl- as an academic, as a maker of curious artefacts, as a cataIoguer of the bizarre and as a Iibrarian of the absurd.
Greenaway might as weII have been describing himself in this thumbnail sketch of Canton RemodeIl, a character in an unmade project. Before his international arthouse hit The Draughtsman's Contract Greenaway had made a series of highIy inventive and witty short films. Their content varies wideIy: the potted history of 37 people who have falIen to their deaths from windows (Windows), a sequence of 92 maps to guide a dead ornithoIogist on his way into the afterIife (A WaIk Through H ), but aII the films are immenseIy playful and take pleasure in outlandish detaiI, fake erudition and corkscrew narratives. Composer MichaeI Nyman started his career with Peter Greenaway and contributed a thrilling score to A Walk Through H.
DVD extras incIude a GaIley of Artworks, a GalIery of Archives, filmed introductions to aIl six films by Peter Greenaway pIus hidden features.
