The Early Films of Peter Greenaway 2
Whether you view these two pieces as allegories for our fallen times, as postmodern reconstructions of films that were never made and events that never took place, as the sustained pedantry of a lunatic, or as a comprehensive encyclopædia of human absurdity and banality, they are ingenious, kaleidoscopic works that will boggle the brain and tickle the fancy. 'The Falls' alone makes this DVD worth watching (and rewatching). Certainly one of Greenaway's most accomplished films, its obsessive detail, endless digressions, and surreal humour are enough to give any viewer the best kind of vertigo.
