H is for House
9 min.
Peter Greenaway was teaching his children the alphabet and, as an exercise, began thinking of all the possible words that begin with the letter H. H is for House plays with the absurdity of the idea of the alphabet as an index used for organizing information. One of Greenaway’s earliest shorts, it already shows his singular style fully formed.
As Greenaway himself remarked to cataloguers at the BFI National Archive: ‘No scripting in this film - it again follows the credo - make a film of collected images filmed in a casual way of what turns up whilst enjoying - for example - a country walk, often with my young family of the time - walking at their pace, interested in what at that time they were interested in - let the images dictate.’
Filmography: Nightwatching (2007), The Tulse Luper Suitcases (2002-4), 8 1/2 Women (1999), The Pillow Book (1996), Prospero's Books (1991), The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover (1989).
A Zed & Two Noughts
A car collides with a swan outside Rotterdam Zoo. Two women passengers die and the driver, Alba Bewick, has to have her leg amputated. Obsessed with the accident, the husbands of the dead women - twin-brother zoologists Oswald and Oliver - become fascinated by the processes of decay.
A Zed and Two Noughts is a visceral and cerebral treat, as dead animals decompose to the jokey rhythms of Michael Nyman, symmetry is elevated beyond obsession, and Sacha Vierny's cinematography pays homage to Vermeer. Full of surprises and magnificent conundrums, Greenaway's third feature is as perversely comic and teasing as it is shocking.
