FRAMES OF MIND: THE FILMS OF PETER GREENAWAY which opened on Tuesday 18 October runs to 30 December. A daring and stimulating innovator, Peter Greenaway is one of Britain's most unique and esoteric visual artists working today. An accomplished filmmaker, writer, artist and painter with a visual style that is unsurpassed, and an occasional appetite for the taboo, BFI Southbank's season reflects on a career that has embraced short film, television, pioneering technology and some of the most enthralling and challenging feature films ever made, including A ZED \u0026amp; TWO NOUGHTS (1985), THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT (1987), THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE \u0026amp; HER LOVER (1989), PROSPERO'S BOOKS (1991) and THE PILLOW BOOK (1996).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM BY THE BFI NATIONAL ARCHIVE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTWO-DISC SET\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudio commentary by Peter Greenaway (2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroduction by Peter Greenaway (2003, 10 mins): the director discusses the genesis of The Draughtsman's Contract, his creative choices and the film's central themes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVisions: A Film Comment by Angela Carter (1982, 21 mins): the novelist's contemporary TV review of The Draughtsman's Contract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Guardian Interview: Michael Nyman (2002, audio only, 7 mins): the composer discusses his work on The Draughtsman's Contract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Greenaway Alphabet (2017, 60 mins): Saskia Boddeke's deeply personal portrait of her husband Peter Greenaway, his art and his relationship with his daughter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eH is For House (1976, 9 mins): an early short film by Peter Greenaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Walk Through H (1978, 42 mins): Greenaway's short depicting the symbolic journey of an ornithologist through a mysterious bird-filled country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInsight: Zandra Rhodes (1981, 15 mins): Greenaway's profile of the fashion designer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInterviews with Janet Suzman, Peter Greenaway and Anthony Higgins (1981, 5 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBehind the scenes footage (1981, 5 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeleted scenes and outtakes (1981, 11 mins total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRestoration trailer (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst pressing only: Illustrated booklet with a new Director's Statement and a 2004 essay by Peter Greenaway; essays by Simon Barker, Robert Brown (from Sight and Sound, Winter 81\/82) and Charlie Bridgen; notes on the special features and credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnglish language, with optional subtitles for the Deaf and partial hearing, plus audio description; optional German language dub, with optional German language subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BFI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42133993390280,"sku":"BFIB1475","price":42.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/draughtsmanscontractbd.jpg?v=1669334138","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/draughtsmans-contract-the-region-b-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
