Painter, film editor, and avant garde director (structualist short films), Peter Greenaway (1942), releases his first feature film, “A Walk Through H” (1978), followed by the documentary, “Act of God,” about thirty people struck by lightning; the film seeks to propose an arcane law that unites their fates. “The Falls,” shows the biographies of ninety-two people whose last names begin with “Falls” with a similar intent to codify fate, but breaks through in 1983 with the successive “The Draughtsman’s Contract” (1982), a ferocious grotesque parable on the relationship between art and power.
