A Walk Through H / The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist / UK / 1978

This I found to be the most compelling of Peter Greenaway’s short films. At 41 minutes, it’s ostensibly a visual cataloguing of 92 maps, each of which is seen, and most are scrutinized in close-up pans. This film introduces Greenaway’s meticulous numerology (specifically the number 92, which figures prominently in his recent The Tulse Luper Suitcases), the character Tulse Luper (ditto), several of his graphic works (he has constructed/painted each of the aforementioned maps), and a pulsing, rhythmic score by Michael Nyman. It’s brief yet immeasurably dense.
