Peter Greenaway's cinema has consistently defied classification or definition, soliciting commentaries that attempt, each in its turn, to define the undefinable and explain the unexplainable. This volume is no exception to that established tradition. Greenaway's cinema is a cinema of non sense, in the sense Deleuze gave to the word : not an absence of meaning but a plurality of meanings - a multilayered cinema whose strata of meanings interact, overlap, disrupt, contradict and confirm one another.
