| Posted By: Gary Posted On: Nov 15, 2006 Views: 1260 | Buying Greenaway Movies? I am having great difficulty finding many Peter Greenaway classics to purchase. I don't know if other people experience the same difficulty, but in Australia where I am from it is very difficult to track Greenaway movies down in stores and on the internet! Movies I am having the most diffulties finding (to purchase) are: Darwin; The European Showerbath; The Death of a Composer; 26 Bathrooms; Prospero's Books (DVD). Just wondering if anyone can help out, or has any of these they are willing to sell. Regards. Gary |

The more classical and better known ones like "Prospero's Books" are certainly available worldwide trough "Amazone". Try there but please don't think you can have them there for little money ! Hope I've been of some help and if I can help you in this respect any further, you know my email by now. All the best for the new year and keep on looking for the work of a really "special" director, he's deserving it! Bob |
| Posted By: Bob Posted On: Feb 10, 2007 Views: 1154 | RE: Buying Greenaway Movies? I've been waiting over a decade for Prospero's Books to come out on DVD. (I set up an alert on amazon.com in 1994 which will notify me when it is due to be released....every year I renew the alert). All that's available is a VHS version, long since out of print, which you have to buy used. There used to be a laser-disc version available, but finding a player can be dicey. The Cook... is also out of print, and VERY pricey to buy used. Maybe if we storm the folks at Columbia / Tristar, they'll release (or re-release) these exquisite films on DVD ! |

I've actually written to the Criterion Collection in an attempt to get somebody off their butts and release a deluxe version of The Cook, the Thief, etc. It's ridiculous some the crazily obscure films that get the 2 + disc treatment at Criterion. Peter Greenaway!! Come on! |
