whether or not you like him or his work, at least he's trying to do something interesting

Name me a director that doesn't impress notions of greatness upon a certain kind of audience!

Can there ever possibly be a movie that everyone likes? Of course not.

And to prove that Greenaway's images are relevant to others, tell me what you've seen of his and I'll talk about it.

And you still haven't told us anything that he's pretending!

Titanic.

What a load of bollocks. If Hollywood started getting back to real movies instead of crappy curned out shit this would not need to happen. This guy's a nut case.

[FibrousAcquiescence]

And I thought he was going to critique modern cinema! Aha. He did make chuckle, he did.

This guy is paid by many companies and multimedia companies. And he is first man of tv any way tv is dead since internet is on we do not need tv at home (compact slave machine). Some people want console it will give all experiences that this moron is trying to discover for the world. Some people like theatre some people like cinema some people like drugs question of preference. Artist as person above rest that will be finish soon.But Greenway likes to be artist that's he's problem

@MrFpenteado i think you should study your cinema and its origins and realize that cameras were firstly invented because of the desire to be able to see what the eye cannot see, not to be enterteined with stories you can see in books.

To say that the cinema is dead means that cinema is back on its track because of the new technologies. And ofcourse it was killed by the remote, cinema is to be seen not at home but i a theatre, without pausing or zapping. Its a matter of formats

[MrFpenteado]

Its a bit sad to see someone of the stature of Greenaway saying that Cinema is dead and was killed by the remote control. I think he should cut the bullshit and do what it does best which is making movies. But I suppose he is getting quite a sum by this TV company to do this playstation movies and switchboards. Im not indulgent. Some of the best artists often go through a period of decline in their later years and some even, after a peak period, drop to mediocrity.

This guy is a true genius.

[gyufuli]

@Sandbag209 agreed.

Here's the case of a man who's easily bored and craves constant audio-visual stimulation... I should like to know how long he would last in a sensory depravation exercise... I suspect he would be psychotic within a matter of hours...
