похоже, Гринуэй возвращается:
The Dutch co-financed feature film GOLTZIUS & THE PELICAN COMPANY has its Dutch Premiere at the Utrecht Film Festival on 30th September at 16.15.
Peter Greenaway’s two-hour feature film is based on the trip taken by Hendrik Goltzius in 1590 to Colmar in Alsace to find finance to support his printmaking business in the Hague.
“I had a little trading company. The Pelican Company. Engravers, printers, an actor or two. All of us specialsed in words. We traded in words. Words in books. Words on the stage. I wanted to make pictures as well as words. Pictures in books. Pictures on the stage”.
Goltzius, played by the Dutch poet and actor, Ramsey Nasr, since 2009, Poet Laureate of the Netherlands, makes a contract with the local governor, the Margrave of Alsace, played by American Oscar-winning actor, Murray Abrahams, to make a set fifty illustrated volumes of the erotic stories of the Bible in return for cash payments and most significantly, for the presentation at his court of six biblical erotic dramas acted out by his company of printers and actors.
с дургой стороны, после “Nightwatching” минуло и вовсе ничего, — особенно если учесть, что предыдущий его фильм, оказавший на меня соизмеримое влияние, был завершен аж в 1991.
