The Greenaway Alphabet

🍿🍿🍿

🎙️ EPISODE 581: 10.21.22 If you're a Greenaway Head like myself then this one is near-essential viewing. Helmed by his wife and prominently featuring his teenage daughter, this is a very sweet portrait which bites off just enough of Greenaway's own style for the perfect blend of the artistic and the informative. It's not necessarily a good primer so I would avoid it if you're not already familiar with his work. I appreciated the nice ending shot, featuring this ultimate weirdo walking into the ocean butt naked except for a silly hat holding his daughter's hand. Like his art, his intentions almost always seem skewed if not fully suspicious; the "normal" response is to turn away, but if you give in, you'll be rewarded.
