“My first idea,” Peter Greenaway said, “was to make a documentary about what happened with the non-edit of this film, which was so close to his heart and mind and which forever afterwards he always regretted not finishing. So I went down to Mexico and Guanajuato and was fascinated by its ‘Museum of the Dead.’ Then I began writing dialogue—which is a completely un-documentary activity.
