At the recommendation of Bill I shall take a look at some of Perter Greenaway's work. Bill specifically recommended Dante's Inferno, formally known as "A TV Dante".
Lumiere & Company
"I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet."
Peter Greenaway made a 52 second short film for the Lumiere & Company collection of short films. It relates images from the origin of the Lumiere Brothers' first camera in 1895 to the present day.
M is for Man Music Mozart - Vesalius Song
Windows
"Windows" (1974) features narration (provided by Greenaway) over four minutes of shots depicting an English countryside in which 37 residents felt compelled to commit "defenstration," i.e., falling out of windows. The first of Greenaway's lavish "fictional histories," this is a good primer for newcomers and features effective use of Jean-Philippe Rameau on the soundtrack.
