Editorial Reviews

Netherlands released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Film Credits, Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Teaser(s), Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Iconoclastic director Peter Greenaway begins his most ambitious project to date with this feature, the first in a proposed series of films, television programs, and multimedia projects that examine the contents of 92 suitcases, each revealed by title character Tulse Henry Purcel Luper. Broken into three sections spanning 1928 to 1940, The Tulse Luper Suitcases: Part One follows our young hero from age 10, when he is reprimanded by his father for scrawling some graffiti on a wall in his desolate South Wales neighborhood. Years later, Tulse (JJ Field) is a desert explorer who winds up being further punished by the aptly-named dominatrix Passion Hockmeister (Caroline Dhavernas). Finally, in the film's last section, Tulse is in Antwerp at the start of World War II, where he ends up being imprisoned by Nazis. Told in a fractured, non-narrative style, The Tulse Luper Suitcases also incorporates many inter-titles, superimposed images, an ever-present narrator presented in a picture-within-picture format, intentionally fake-looking sets, and many, many references to other Greenaway films and characters.

It's a great series of movies. Can anyone tell me if this is going to be in print sometime or was it just a tease?

This review is from: Tulse Luper Suitcases ( The Moab Story ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Netherlands ] (DVD)

I must first admit that I bought this film only because Deborah Harry makes a brief appearance. The film is disjointed. There is not one story line but several. It is more like watching a series of short films based on short stories with the suitcase thrown in only as a link. There is no common theme. If you like experimental cinema, then you may enjoy it. You can debate whether there was in fact a point for bringing these stories together in one film.
