Your beautiful pen, take the cap off

Peter Greenaway's The Pillow Book (1996) is the natural progression from Prospero's Books (1991), one of the most thoroughly erotic movies I have ever seen, and I would have a lot more to say about it if I hadn't found out, shortly after rushthatspeaks and I finished watching and gaudior came home, that their moving company had turned themselves into fail.

At some point in the night, I remember saying to reversepolarity, "Today has been brought to you by the numbers duct tape, boxes, and the letter what the fuck."

The move will happen and my cousins are amazing, but I stand by the description.

Your post reminded me how much I've wished it were possible to get hold of Greenaway's A TV Dante (1989), with Bob Peck and John Gielgud as Dante and Virgil respectively. I saw and loved it on TV when it came out, and it's very clearly the direct predecessor of Prospero's Books, but was never as far as I can see put on DVD.

Anyhow, I just got to googling and I see that it's now available to download, at Digital Classics. I definitely recommend it, if you're tracing the Greenaway trajectory. Maybe a treat for after the moving crisis?

I must see this. Thank you.

Hmm.
