(RIP) ?! What ? - Harmonia 20:50:23 12/30/08 (3)
As far as I know Greenaway is alive and well. He has a newer movie out too, Nightwatching (Rembrandt's J'accuse).

    ...but last I heard Greenaway is alive and ornery.

      as well
      Turns out rumours of Greenaways demise were somewhat exagerrated...
      Don't at all begrudge him being alive

- He is on the same level as Fellini and Lynch. * - mr grits 21:52:57 12/30/08 (2)

  - Lynch=Fellini??? - The Duke 06:16:07 12/31/08 (1)
    You think David Lynch's work is equal to that of Fedrico Fellini? Amazing! For the most part Lynch is empty-headed surrealism; all flashy visuals. If you want the essence of cinematic surrealism look to Luis Bunuel.
    - You just described Fellini to me. * - mr grits 06:53:56 12/31/08 (0)

- Greenaway is at least as significant a filmmaker... - Harmonia 21:03:11 12/30/08 (0)
  ...as any 12-15 filmmakers on that list, take your pick.
  
  To wit:
  
  The Draughtman's Contract
  A Zed and Two Noughts
  In The Belly Of An Architect
  Drowning By Numbers
  The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
  Prospero's Books
  The Pillow Book
  
  You can have all of Von Trier except for Europa and Breaking The Waves, I'll take Greenaway's short films and the above.
