Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway is a British film director. His work ranges from feature length films, short films, paintings and novels.  I have been informed that he uses in most of his work.        Some of his most successful and well known films include:

The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

The Pillow Book (1996)

Nightwatching (2007)

The Draughtsman's Contract (1982)

Drowning by Numbers (1988)

When I visited his IMBD page under ‘Trade Mark’ it says “The number 92 is prominent in his films: 92 "Falls" in The Falls. 92 languages in The Falls. 92 suitcases belonging to Tulse Luper, a character in The Falls”. His film “Drowning by Numbers” also features numbers as a key element; the three generation of women, all with the same name, then both visually and spoken numbers appear in the scenes which count from one to 100. The same story is repeated three times.

Another Trademark that Greenaway uses in his films is that they often feature strong manipulative female characters.

Also Greenaway usually shoots scenes in hospitals, where characters are bedridden and immobile.

These are all brilliant trademarks that are all noticeable in his films.

I think I will be able to use Greenaway’s trademark as further inspiration for both the film plot and trailer.
