Greenaway & Nyman

British artist, writer, and director Peter Greenaway’s cinema is unmistakable — baroque, cerebral, and boldly theatrical, his films unfold like elaborate paintings, rich with symbolism, obsession, and wry absurdity. Equally distinctive is fellow British composer Michael Nyman, whose hypnotic, minimalist scores pulse with alternating elegance and urgency. Together, their collaborations form a sublime marriage of image and sound, a cinematic alchemy that’s as unsettling as it is exquisite. In our series Greenaway & Nyman, The Frida Cinema presents four of their most iconic collaborations, providing filmgoers a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in these signature masterpieces of sight and sound.
