    An interesting video essay comparing The Dawn of Blood with 2001. Independent Study students, note the comparisons between the construction of mise en scene and thematic/conceptual intention of the director/s.

  • Yet in Greenaway’s world, systems or codes of any kind are treated as inadequate, hopelessly subjective fantasies that deserve contempt, not respect. Categorical thinking claims it makes the world easier to understand; Greenaway maintains it distorts the world by forcing it into unnatural categories. Many of his films satirise catalogues and organising principles, firstly by presenting absurd examples of each, and secondly by structuring events around them

      This reading of the world that Greenaway creates goes well with the reading of the statue that suggests that it a metaphor for the unpredictability of the real world. The statue captures an ideal form and it is a fixed representation. By having it move around, Greenaway exercises a sense of satire on his world of the Draughtsman's contract.
