Prospero's Books (1991,  R)
Prospero's Books
Artistic expression at its deepest meaning. The best and most original, controversial, unique and visionary adaptation of Shakespeare's last play, The Tempest, gloriously put on the big screen. It is not boring, neither tedious at any point: the magnificence of Greenaway's work is among the best in the modern era. A dazzling masterpiece.

The Pillow Book (1997,  NC-17)
The Pillow Book
A feast for the eyes, and the senses. Ewan McGregor finally dares to play a totally different role.

This complex, erotic, artistic, stylish and beautiful Greenaway tale makes you wonder about our true motivations; the outstanding and depressing (but even so, masterful) direction leads us to an incredible journey to the psychology of the protagonist Nagiko and the secondary characters, which represent many of the most important aspects of life.

This sexual odyssey is worth been watched several times so you can find different and meaningful things after each time. A masterpiece of mofern era, The Pillow Book is a rare gem of contemporary cinematography, and a breathtaking alternative look at the artistic expression.
