Even at his most obtuse I find something to enjoy in the work of Peter Greenaway. There’s always enough going on visually or there’s some rapid-fire wit happening to keep me involved when I feel the story slipping away. 8 1/2 Women, a rather vulgar movie, also has lots of potty talk and naked shlongs to keep it amusing. 8 1/2 Women is the sex side of the sex/death see-saw with A Zed and Two Noughts. Both of these films are terrific. There are still many of P.G.’s movies I have not seen; I’ll be hunting them down.
