Vertical Features Remake is a film by Peter Greenaway. It portrays the work of a fictional Institute of Reclamation and Restoration as they attempt to assemble raw footage taken by ornithologist Tulse Luper into a short film, in accordance with his notes and structuralist film theory. The footage consists mostly of vertical landscape features, such as trees and posts, shot in the English landscape.
This film feels like a cool, detached academic exercise. It's a cerebral, structuralist exploration of filmmaking itself, focusing on process and theory. Best suited for patient viewers interested in the mechanics of art.
