Greenaway: The Falls

Synopsis:

Standing at a pivotal point in his filmography, poised between his earlier, witty shorts and the unique pleasures of Peter Greenaway�s post-Draughtsman�s Contract oeuvre, The Falls is arguably the most significant film of his prolific career. Shot as a pseudo-documentary, this magnum opus dazzlingly details 92 case histories of people who have been affected by the VUE (Violent Unknown Event), a mysterious, apocalyptic phenomenon related to birds, flying, and bizarre invented languages. Perfectly paired with it on this disc is Vertical Features Remake, in which a group of self-important academics argue about the work of Tulse Luper, Greenaway�s best-known fictional character and cinematic alter ego. Michael Nyman provided the score for both films, with back up from the father of ambient music, Brian Eno. This disc is also available as part of Greenaway: The Early Films box set.

Best Price: $13.35 @ DVDPacific.com

The Features:

� Video pieces on both films created by Greenaway especially for the DVD release

� Extensive collection of Greenaway�s paintings from 1975�1990 and archival materials on The Falls

� Original BFI production catalogue essay and the original press book for all of the early Greenaway films

� Liner notes by Peter Greenaway

Greenaway: The Shorts

Synopsis:

"He has other reputations as well as an academic, as a maker of curious artifacts, as a cataloguer of the bizarre and as a librarian of the absurd." Peter Greenaway might well have been describing himself in this thumbnail sketch of Canton Remodell, a character in an unmade project. Before his international art house hits The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and Prospero�s Books, Greenaway made a series of highly inventive films that established all the obsessions that run through his later work. The content of the six playful shorts featured on this disc varies widely, from the condensed, wry history of 37 people who have fallen to their deaths from windows (Windows), to a sequence of 92 maps to guide a dead ornithologist on his way into the afterlife (A Walk Through H) set to a thrilling score by award-winning composer Michael Nyman. All of these quirkily delightful works, take great pleasure in outlandish detail, fake erudition and corkscrew narratives. This disc is also available as part of Greenaway: The Early Films box set.

Best Price: $12.10 @ DeepDiscountDVD.com

The Features:

� Video pieces about each film created by Greenaway especially for the DVD release

� Extensive collection of Greenaway�s paintings and collages from 1968-1978, and notes for unmade projects

� Original BFI production catalogue essay and the original press book for all of the early Greenaway films

� Liner notes by Peter Greenaway
