The Films of Peter Greenaway is the first critical overview of one
of the most controversial contemporary film-makers. Trained as an
artist, Greenaway began his career in cinema as an editor of
government-sponsored films. He began to attract critical attention
in 1980 with his epic mock-documentary The Falls, the first British
film to be named Best Film by the British Film Institute in 30
years. Since then he has created the wittily elegant The
Draughtsman's Contract, the strikingly unconventional Shakespearean
adaptation Prospero's Books, and the disturbingly violent The Cook,
The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. In-depth analyses of these and
several other of Greenaway's most important works are examined
within the context of the director's biography and artistic goals.
This edition also includes stills from Greenaway's feature films,
as well as his own drawings.
