For this project we were required to watch 2 art films by Peter Greenaway and Jean-Luc Godard. I much preferred the Peter Greenaway film, "A walk through H" in which the narrator goes on a journey following drawings and maps given to him by Tulse Luper.
" Like all the best surrealist art, it combines the pedantically methodical with the devoutly inconsequential..." Nigel Andrews, Sight and Sound.
Interestingly, the film was not obvious, yet not obscure, in many ways like painting. I took us on a journey as a painting tends to do, and with no clear end. It is probably the best way to make a film about painting and certainly the best way to make an impression.
I think if I was to create a film of painting it would be best done in this style. Like painting it self, the ambiguity leaves room for interpretation and will mean people view it in different ways. In regards to who I would choose to do my own film about, I would have to say Joan Miro, whose work for me is bizarre enough to be made into a moving picture without to much added surrealism.
