SUMMARY: The film is set in the winter of 1590 when Hendrik Goltzius, a Dutch printer and engraver of erotic prints, holds an interview with the rich Margrave of Alsace in the castle on the Rhine trying to get finance for a new printing press. In return, Goltzius promises to print a superb book of pictures of Old Testament Biblical stories. In addition, to tempt the Margrave further, Goltzius’s company – engravers, printers and a few actors, united under the name the Pelican Company, promise to stage six dramatizations of Biblical erotic stories for the Margrave and his suite…
DIRECTOR: Peter Greenaway (Newport, Wales, Great Britain, 1942) trained as a painter in London for four years, and started making his own films in 1966. He now lives in Amsterdam. He has made 12 feature films and some 50 short films and documentaries, which screened at world’s most prestigious film festivals. His first narrative feature film The Draughtsman¹s Contract (1982) received great critical acclaim and established him internationally as an original filmmaker, a reputation consolidated by the films The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), The Pillow Book (1996), the trilogy The Tulse Luper Suitcases (2003- 2004), and Goltzius and the Pelican Company.
