Briggs seems to have gone back to journalism under his real name of John Bloom. He has a book coming out this week: "Eccentric Orbits: The Iridium Story".

I loved that 80s run, too. What current filmmakers are similar in tone and style? For example, Sally Potter's "Orlando" felt a lot like a Greenaway film, probably because they shared production designers.

Poor acting is what has destroyed Greenaway's films for me. When he has good actors (Brian Dennehy in "Belly of an Architect", Mirren & Gambon in CTWL) they can make his stagy lines work. But his recent movies mostly have terrible actors, or ones who don't speak English very well - maybe they're good in their native…
