Love your work man, another great essay

one can argue that fight club might have the best wide shot closing scene.

Have you seen Let the right one in?

This is a movie that is so well done, you can turn off the subtitles, heck you can watch this muted even, and you will still understand why this is a masterpiece. This is nearly a flawless art film. From the story, the acting, the amazing visuals, and the scoring. I can not find one fault in it.

Your channel is a treasure

Glad to find a mini doc where there isn’t an annoying TH-camr narrator. 🎉

For obvious reasons, I kept thinking of Parasite.

Amazing! Loved this great work man!

Thanks for posting! I've always been a big fan of Greenaway's movies...🤗

I really love the colors and the shots of this film. First film I feel like I want to own an original quality copy. Anyone can point me where I can buy the full quality copy of this film, just like the quality in this youtube?

What is that opening classical music track ? Please I’ve been searching for it for months..

Greenaway’s Prospero’s Books (adaptation of The Tempest) seems to have disappeared off the map. It’s one of my favourites, second to The Draughtsman’s Contract perhaps.

Stunning film. I watched it twice, once in the USA and once in a cinema on the edge of the Gobi Desert.

"I don't think you get that in Hollywood. That's why we're not going." 👏🏻Kudos to Christopher Doyle!

I have never watched the film but your analysis gave me goosebumps

I also think food is used to show if a character is stressed or uncomfortable. Yes people can eat more because they are stressed, but they wont eat while in a stressful situation. Jules in pulp fiction eats the burger in the apartment because it shows he isnt afraid of the boys, he has the power and the boys should be afraid of him

Wow, thank you for sharing. What a masterpiece. I always thought this is how I would make movies …. Shoot when and where you can and then put it together. Miss the old Honk Kong , it was authentic

I've been looking for such a Greenaway shout-out since I discovered him the other year courtesy of his 4k BluRays. His work outside of The Cook felt very underseen but they've inspired many like Cronenberg and Yorgos.

Genius.

The opening scene was for me probably the greatest opening in the cinema industry. That shit was Pure ART.

Stupid hippies needing drugs for everything and anything. He is right 100% 2001 is the drug.

Can't listen to this mumbling. Jeez man, use some AIR. You think people can understand you?

curious. your thesis is very clear, and entirely accurate, and yet I see my favourite Greenaway film unreferenced. My favourite adaptation of Shakespeare- Prospero's Books. Greenaway acknowledges the impact Shakespeare has had on English (and world) culture and arts by focusing on the books; imagining the alchemical mysteries of Prospero's libraries to express W.S's influence on imagination. Shakespeare is as important to modern English-speaking world as the Iliad was to the Greeks. Many of the themes you establish that Greenaway relies upon, heavily, are missing as they are not in the text of The Tempest. This deviation from his usual "palate" and yet success of the film (artistically) shows his mastery of the art form. ps- as a chef I have seen, on a less exaggerated level, the contrast of artist vs crass commerce as portrayed. never quite as garish or as ornate. but when asked for fave movies about the craft, I do recommend The Cook, the Thief... as one of several (though I always place Pixar's Ratatouille as first viewing), and always ask about their filmic sensibilities.

thought this was going to be about kurosawa

So tired of this clickbait crap. Low budget isn't the same as zero. There's no information regarding production cost in this video.

Cause to afford to pay bills and eat you need some type of criminal side hustle

very inspiring

3:47 I just got The Office reference. When Michael was with the insurance salesman in the restaurant.

I would give everything to be able to see 2001 for the first time once again.

I’m 43 and didn’t watch the film until I was 38. It is the best film I’ve ever seen. So good that I’ve watched it at least 10 times. It is literally a piece of art. Is the follow up sequel any good?

This is a wonderful collage, artfully composed. Thank you for sharing.

I like his movies

Everyone is fat and keep doing meetings in restaurants that’s why

Thank you for this great essay! I'd love to see another one focusing solely on the supporting roles in the film. For instance - Ota, the Japanese lad had such a different energy that perfectly complemented NJ's.

Was Mia Wallace a gangsster? I mean just because her husband Marcellus was a gangster, doesn't automatically make her one..

Samuel Fuller and John Ford deserves a video

wow, i just added so many films to my letterbox watchlist. Thanks!

Where can we see this film

heyy whats the music you used for this video

If a 20 Minute (or less) shakedown gets you the money someone else worked 2 days for, you got a lot of time. All humans eat all the time, and if you can't think of anything else to fill the scene...

I took film as an elective in college and am ashamed by the lack of substance. This was a beautiful exposition of this film and the art form in general. Thank you

Omg thanks for the movie ❤❤

Great video ,thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

So, he didnt pay anyone.. thats messed up...

even the punisher war zone first scene is dinner scene very cool
