...don't care if they're perfect or even if I "understand" them. They're best allowed directly into the subconscious.

Definitely fascinating. Visually stunning as are Tarsem Singh's, - tinear 11:19:27 01/01/09 (0)
though I prefer Tarsem's storytelling.
I'd be careful if I were you about letting Peter's films directly into your subconscious! Especially you being a family man and all :-)

There are all kinds of visual clues going on in Greenaway films; eg: in "Drowning by Numbers" there's a game played early in the film where as players lose they have to go into a funeral "winding sheet"; the sequence with which each of the characters loses the game is the same as each player dies in the film later
Other loose ends + red herrings Greenaway never ties up....
I'm also not at all concerned with his films perfection or lack thereof, I think he's an inventive, original + imaginative filmmaker
