Brother, if one can be Greenaway-pilled, you better believe I’m Greenaway-pilled

[Martin Raybould · Rating 4 out of 5]

David Pascoe's focus is as much on art history as it is on Peter Greenaway's cinema. This approach very much in sync with the filmmaker's methodology so the book offers some valuable and less conventional insights to Greenway's movies.
