...triple-sec alternative to Mel Brooks' very wet humor, Peter Greenaway is the commercial cinema's pre-eminent avant-gardist. Back before he made The Draughtsman's Contract and 8 1/2 Women, he made meticulously malevolent short films (seven are collected here) and The Falls, a three-hour fake-umentary about 92 people whose lives were altered by a Violent Unknown Event.

They've kind of accepted the fact that this is the way for them, and they're not going to hide their light. I've always felt myself a little bit outside the mainstream. My parents never told me that there was any other way to be. They always insisted that I was going to work for a living, that I didn't have to get married, that I didn't have...
