Bill Viola is worth ten Scorseses.
Peter Greenaway

We are all united by the phenomenon that we have a body and that body is universally the same, more or less. If we lose sight of that perspective, everything can desperately suffer.
Peter Greenaway
Image
I wanted to make a cinema of ideas, not plots, and to use the same aesthetics as painting, which has always paid great attention to formal devices of structure, composition and framing.

Peter Greenaway
Image
Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.
Peter Greenaway
Image
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
Peter Greenaway
Image
I think my films are always quite self-reflexive and always question 'why am I doing this, is this the right way to do it, what is cinema for, does it have a purpose?
Peter Greenaway
Image
I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet.
Peter Greenaway
Image
I have transmitted genetic material, all I have to do between my daughters' birth and my death is to decorate my life.
Peter Greenaway
Image
The start of a film is like a gateway, a formal entrance-point. The first three minutes of a film make great demands on an audience's patience and credulity. A great deal has to be learnt very rapidly about place and attitude, character and intent and ambition.
