 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 | 🎙️ EPISODE 411: 03.01.22 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟎-𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 RANKING GREENAWAY 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 This short is much more specific, kind of an outlier compared to the other films in the Shorts collection. It's a bit obtuse so allow me to read you the official synopsis: "Landscape becomes the central performer—and only actor—in this rare, mystical short that was Greenaway’s first experiment with the fantastic. Water Wrackets’ vast wilderness landscape and soothing soundtrack of babbling brooks vividly recount the battles won and lost by the mythical Water Wrackets Army." Ohhhhhh kay then. This one didn’t hit as hard for me, though I appreciate it for attempting to do something different. |

A short film by Peter Greenaway, available in the collection GREENAWAY: THE SHORTS. Hypnotic photography of swirling rivers and misty ponds and droning music (not Michael Nyman for a change) form the backdrop to a documentary-style narration about the history of a fictional tribe in the distant past (or is it the far future?). It was released on January 1, 1978.
