Title: Work of a maestro
Product review: I watched this film recently after not seeing it for a while, and as always it never fails to delight me. A few key images here crop up in some of Greenaway's other films, like the wild dogs in the introduction (which are echoed in Prospero's Books) and the pyramid, which shows up in almost all of his other films but most especially The Belly Of An Architect, which I believe is his most highly underrated work. Every scene of this film is glorious; art for art's sake, not some banal thrown together nonesense that is an insult to our senses like so many other movies out there in Hollywoodland. I for one thank my lucky stars for Peter Greenaway--he never fails to amaze and educate whoever has the sense to look and listen, and he does it with the precision of a truly great artist.
