Overview
Saskia Boddeke, filmmaker and wife of Peter Greenaway, produces an exquisite, irreverent and intimate portrait of the great director working with his daughter to create an alphabet that catalogues moments of his life and career. It’s a fascinating portrait of one of our most accomplished artists and an opportunity to see him through the prism of those closest to him. As he faces the reality of ageing, Greenaway’s openness underpins an intimacy that no external documentarian could achieve. The result is a fitting tribute to Greenaway's life and career, and highlights Boddeke’s immense skill as a filmmaker.
