and first got interested in his work when Ebert& Siskel named The Cook The Thief as the most controversial film of the 80's.

Mostly he is over my head but his imagery and imagination is fascinating. I find his earlier stuff more palatable then the most recent until this Rembrandt jag: Night Watching and Rembrandt J'accuse.

"Belly" is probably the most conventional of what I've seen to far, but still not conventional... (-:

When I see his film, I too feel like I must be missing a lot of what he is saying. Have you seen "A Zed and two Noughts"? It's jam packed with cryptic stuff!
- Zed is probably his most quizzical film.....(to me)... - mr grits 16:16:11 06/22/11 (2)
  I've seen it at least three times and don't get it. After "Drowning By Numbers" I started being more hesitant in seeing his latest films. I liked "Drowning" with the three Sissy's because it had the feel of his "early" work as compared to "Pillow Book" and "8 1/2 Women".
  - I love A Zed and Two Naughts, it reminds me of Lynch - PhilJ 17:13:03 06/22/11 (1)
    oddly compelling...

    - Lynch is a good grab...being a fellow painter and all. - Harmonia 15:31:39 06/26/11 (0)
      They both share a love for a non-narrative, inner consciousnes, subjective kind of filmmaking.
      
      Greenaway is famously uninterested in other directors...especially of the commercial stripe...but he acknowledged an appreciation for Lynch's Blue Velvet.
      
      He said it was so good he wished he had made it.
