Peter Greenaway's Postmodern / Poststructuralist Cinema

In this collection of essays, various postmodern and poststructuralist aspects of Peter Greenaway's films are explored, including The Draughtman's Contract, The Belly of an Architect, A Zed and Two Noughts, and The Pillow Book. This collection of diverse essays, which includes two texts by Greenaway, two interviews with the director, and a revised filmography, explores the cultural, historical, and philosophical implications of this hybrid artist whose paintings, drawings, exhibitions, installations, and operatic productions are an intrinsic part of his work in film.
