Frases Peter Greenaway

„Solo hay dos temas que importan, uno es sexo y el otro es muerte, de que otra cosa podríamos hablar. Y la mayoría de las películas hablan todo el tiempo sobre sexo y muerte, y mis películas se refieren al sexo y a la muerte entonces… ¿cuál es el problema?“

—  Peter Greenaway

Durante su visita a Bogotá Colombia en el 2008.
Cita original: "There are only two subjects that matters, one is sex and the other is death, what else we could talk about it. And most the cinema talks all the time about sex and death. And my cinema deals with sex and death so... what's the problem?".

„Si alguna vez reencarno quisiera que fuera en un arquitecto porque puedes evitar el cine, dejar de oír música, ignorar la pintura…pero nunca la arquitectura.“

„El cine de esta época está muerto, acabado. La idea de que el cine es un cuento de hadas para niños no es buena ni suficiente. Necesitamos algo mejor.“

De muerte, De niños, Idea

„Creo que el mejor cine, la mejor música y a mejor literatura vienen de Europa. Pero es muy difícil posicionarlo porque el mercado está lleno de basura de mierda, lo cual indica que las expectativas de la audiencia son bajas.“

„In the game of Dawn Card-Castles, fifty-two playing cards are stacked up into a castle in a draught-free space: the player can determine the dreams of the next night if he awakes before the castle collapses. Those players who wish to dream of Romance build their castle with the seven of hearts.“

Drowning By Numbers

„Prospero wears a large, heavy, dark-blue cloak or gown that enfolds him like a quilted blanket… it is darkly embroidered with small wine-coloured beads and swirls of black vegetation… it has long strings and ornate tassels that trail to the ground… it is a garment that has often been worn… a little frayed and scuffed. Later it will be seen to be capable of changing colour… in seven stages comparable to the power of Prospero's magic… black, brown, dark blue, light blue, purple, dark red and fiery red… and to have a vivid lining embroidered with dazzling stars -- a lining that is only revealed in flashes as when a dark butterfly momentarily uncovers coloured underwings.“

Prospero's Books

„In the film The Belly of an Architect, an architect from Chicago organizes an exhibition of his favourite architect Etienne-Lous Boullée (1728-1799). I wrote an account of this hypothetical exhibition as though it had been seen by an unlikely Boullée contemporary -- Jane Austen (1775-1817). She made a prim but perceptive account of her progress through the corridors and halls of the Vittoriano in the centre of Rome -- a building constructed long after both of these eminent personages were dead.“

Watching Water

„The whole of this studio is bonded; that is to say, we are not officially in Japan per se, but rather, in what is considered for these purposes an adjunct of the customs shed at Narita airport. Officially, we are not here because we are pornographic. It's a rather curious situation.“

During the filming of Prospero's Books, quoted in an interview in American Film, Nov/Dec 1991
Prospero's Books

„It tells you how to boil water. What expression to wear when you are eating eggs. How to starve. When to eat. What your first meal should be. What your last meal should be. It says more about death than eating and more about living than cooking.“

„Obviously, I am the cook. The cook is the director. He arranges the menu, the seating order of the guests; he gives refuge to the lovers; he prepares the repast of the lover's body. The cook is a perfectionist and a rationalist, a portrait of myself.“

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover

„A French critic referred to me as a gay pessimist, with gay used in its older sense, and talked of Cocteau in the same breath.“

In an interview in Sight and Sound, Summer 1987
Interviews

„Too late. Too late to retreat. Your heart is open. The book has got you. Your body is wide open. This rat of a book has invaded your privacy, worried its feeling into your entrails by every private passage.“

From the eighth book, "The Book of the Seducer"
The Pillow Book

„Outside in the garden, the greenhouse collapses. Masonry crashes from the roof and splashes into the moat. The grave-marker for the pig Hortense moves up out of the ground. The Maillol statue stands firm as the shrubs around it quiver. A water-main bursts in the yard sending a shower into the air. Trees fall as though whipped down to the ground. The water on the lake shimmers and ripples like a film run backwards.“

Penultimate paragraph of the published script.
8 1/2 Women

„There is nothing more splendid than the prospect of sitting in the morning before a new ink-stone and a sheet of white paper. The smell of the white paper is like the scent of the skin of a new lover who has just paid a surprise visit out of a rainy garden. And the black ink is like lacquered hair. And the quill? Well the quill is like the instrument of pleasure whose purpose is never in doubt but whose surprising efficiency one always -- always forgets.“

Philip reacts to Mio's death
8 1/2 Women

„If a player in the game of Deadman's Catch drops a skittle, he is obliged to suffer a succession of handicaps. First to catch using one hand, then to catch kneeling on one knee, then on two knees, then with one eye closed. If a player finally drops a catch with both eyes closed, then he is out and must take his place in the winding-sheet.“

Drowning By Numbers

„We went to Kyoto -- back to Japan -- to work in the Matsuo Tiasha shrine which Sei Shonagon had visited regularly. I couldn't give up such an opportunity. I was also a little homesick. We didn't finish walking the cat-walk until midnight when all the audience had gone. I didn't mind -- Sei Shonagon had watched the moon rise in that garden a thousand years ago -- I could have walked up and down that path all night long.“
