ART OF EUROPE

Peter Greenaway - 8½ Women (1999)

greenaway's obviously obsessed with catalogues, and with obsession, and with cataloguing (sic) obsessions, but rather than books or french food or calligraphy painted on penes, he sticks to what sells in this one; which is, of course, naked women.

mio (the wouldbe 女方) might be the clutch, the woman who wants to be more woman than woman has men teach her how, the japanese who wants to be more japanese goes to switzerland to train under white guys who barely speak latin, let alone 日本語, seen as a sort a knock simeoultaneously (sic) v. the masquerade fantasies a, say, jarmusch's ghost dog (he touches money! with his hands!) and the "overpaid tour guide" a say (like ma) amy tan. most a the women themselves have obsessions (the men's oc being their women('s)) except what'sherfuck from enchanted april, who, well, that's the point now, isn't it.

pachinko ka-ching.
