Peter Greenaway Box Set (Australian release) Sept. 8 2010

PETER GREENAWAY BOX SET
Synopsis
THE MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION OF GREENAWAY'S FILMS EVER RELEASED.
AN IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND INFLUENTIAL FILMMAKERS.
Best known for The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover, British director Peter Greenaway's visionary cinema pushes the limits of the medium. Elaborate and visually extravagant, his films have won a passionate audience, particularly for his collaborations with composer Michael Nyman.
TITLES INCLUDE:
A ZED & TWO NOUGHTS (1985)
BABY OF MACÔN (1993)
THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT (1982)
DROWNING BY NUMBERS (1988)
8 1/2 WOMEN (1999)
THE PILLOW BOOK (1996)
PROSPERO'S BOOKS (1991) - 1st time on DVD worldwide!
PETER GREENAWAY: A DOCUMENTARY (1992)
I thought there was a Spain DVD of 'Prospero's Books' with embedded subtitles. I had rented it and I remember it didn't look so hot Anyhow, finally 'Books' AND 'Baby of Macon', I can retire my VHS copy of 'Macon'
no word on extras aside from the documentary. It's strange and odd, that the Greenaway films get rather sporadic releases in his native country (UK) but Australia gets around to actually releasing not only this collection, but the three Tulsa Luper films.
I've never ordererd from Umbrella, and it's odd that the basket llink doesn't add the Box set. Makes me a bit wary.
EzyDVD has the disc too, but the postage due to it's size is $25 (Aus).

According to the Criterion Forum's Greenaway thread, Umbrella's past release have been a mixed bag, so you might want to wait on a couple of reviews before ordering.
