Summary:

"A writer, painter and filmmaker, Peter Greenaway shot to fame in 1982 with the Draughtsman's contract. These early shorts display many of that film's obsession and qualities. The films are an entertaining and intriguing mix of method and madness, pedantry and poetry, landscape beauty and bureaucratic fog. Questioning film forms and documentary traditions Greenaway's work is always intellectually sharp and visually superb."--Container.
