Audience Member Really neat piece. It was part of a gallery show in the late 80's, here in NYC but I don't recall which gallery. Fascinating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Just as with "A Walk Through H", this is a small yet an unfathomably grand film. Everything works here: the narrative introspection, the visual editing and its folds, the music. A part of this is of course that the smallness and experimental nature of the project allows Greenaway to focus more intently and have a strict vision and more elaborate abstractions. A tough film to find, but worth every single frame of it. Would recommend you see it with both "A Walk Through H" and either "Prospero's Books" and "The Pillow Book", films that demand but reward in return. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
