Some kind soul recently uploaded, in five parts, a 1991 BBC Omnibus television documentary about Peter Greenaway. Greenaway, you'll know if you've been here a while, never ceases to inspire me in his dedication to push film into new, richly interesting places, to liberate it from its addiction to stale 19th-century psychological narrative and to open it up to accept and incorporate all manner of artistic information it's usually denied. (He's also one on the short list of people I'd commit heinous crimes for the opportunity to interview.)
Cleverly titled Anatomy of a Filmmaker — Greenaway is an enthusiast of the nude human figure, which he sees as the single constant of art — it covers the filmmaker's career from his earliest shorts up through Prospero's Books. There are bits about the time he spent honing his skills cutting together British propaganda, his experience with painting and his longtime collaboration with Sacha Vierny. It also presents subsections on Greenaway's own inspirational creators, including John Cage and the increasingly-intriguing-to-me R.B. Kitaj. Here it is:
The aforelinked account of the user that posted it is an absolute cinematic treasure trove. He's put up The Art of David Lynch, A Portrait of Lars von Trier, Dogville Confessions and specials on Aki Kaurismäki and François Truffaut. If you're unsatisfied losing only part of your day to the Greenaway documentary, consider losing the rest to all of these. Lawds, would I like to send this fellow a fruit basket.
Nowadays people are being bombarded with thousand of unhealthy products, the level of sensibility infront of diseases is very high and that's why the use of medicinal plants can represent the best solution.
