PETER GREENAWAY : HAVE WE SEEN ANY CINEMA YET?
   
Outrageous and controversial, Greenaway is one of cinema's great antagonists.  Here he'll challenge the 'tyrannies' of cinema as we know it.

Disquieted by the inability of the cinema that exists to provide the potential excitements of a 21st Century, Greenaway questions established modes of production and consumption in cinema and provokes us to consider the tyrannical power of the frame, the actor, the script, of celebrity and even the camera itself.

Unafraid of decrying our cinematic heroes and pointing the finger at us, the audience, Greenaway makes his case with effortless charm and a wicked grin.
