Delightful!



Now, anyone that's made it this far - the board for "A Walk Through H" is most likely not just a Greenaway fan, but one who has already traveled along the twisted, brilliant encyclopedic imagescapes of Greenaway's mind. If that is indeed the case, you'll be right at home here.

If you haven't seen a Greenaway film before and you're merely curious and stumbled across this board, I'd start with something a bit more accessible - "The Cook, the Thief....", "The Pillow Book", or even "Draughtman's Contract" before going here. "A Walk Though H" is the sort of film that, if you're not *there* and grinning in spite of yourself after five minutes, you'll have turned it off. The world of Peter Greenaway is one of film's great treasures, but you cannot approach it blindly.

Myself? I've seen "A Walk Through H" three times and still find it dazzlingly impenetrable. While I don't doubt there are armchair scholars ready to take Greenaway to task here, you've almost got to be more obsessive than Greenaway in order to even begin such a task. For now, I'm content with it being a beautiful little impressionistic tease.
