..anyone else here like his work, both on film and on canvas..? he can be pretentious as fuck, but I do think he has made some beautiful and (more important) interesting work. "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" is just stunning, "Drowning by Numbers" even more so. he's also one of the few persons that I think can actually succesfully pull off a collage. |

i've never heard of this artist....oddly enough. i have heard of the movie you mentioned tho....cos it caused quite a stir here in the US.....ratings wise i believe. do you recommend? where can i see more of his art work? |

he has compiled numerous expositions, but almost exclusively in Europe. you should have a look at his films, but be prepared.. he thinks the medium of film is too versatile to be wasted on the simple telling of a story. therefore, do not expect much of a plot in his films. "The Cook.." is the easiest to begin with, because it does have a story but is still visually stunning. how awful this might sound, he does seem to paint on celluloid. |

He's a wildman of cinema - last thing of his I saw was The Baby of Macon, I think - pretty goddamn disturbing. I wanna see it again. Was that before or after Prospero's Books? Greenaway reminds me of a certain Sesame Street character - can you guess who? |

he is one of those artists that you either really like, or simply hate. if you're renting "The Cook.." give it another viewing after quite some time. I didn't like it that much the first time, I was still focusing too much on the story (which is pretty flimsy). but the times after that - oh boy! you'll probably also love the soundtrack by Michael Nyman (he kind of started out scoring for Greenaway's films, until they had some kind of fued round the making of "Prospero's Books" and never collaborated again). there are a few books containing his art, pretty nice. |

fleet, I think "baby of macon" is after "prospero's books".. |

Oh wait, I forgot, I also saw The Pillow Book after that - it was lovely. I hardly remember it tho - I have an impression of a book coming to life, and Ewan McGregor's corpse in a huge urn... time to see it again I guess. |
