A Walk Through H

Synopsis

“In A Walk Through H the camera focuses on a series of 92 maps (all drawn by Greenaway), while Cantlie’s punctilious narrator regales the audience with anecdotes about what he saw on his travels through the abbreviated land of the film’s title, how he obtained certain of his maps, his friendship with Tulse Luper, the soundness of Luper’s travel advice, and other increasingly surreal occurrences. Not for the last time in a Greenaway film, ornithology and all things avian play a considerable role in the lore and symbolism.” – Budd Wilkins
