The book features twenty-one interviews with filmmaker Peter Greenaway, where he articulates his unique film aesthetic and critiques the mainstream Hollywood style. Greenaway argues for a visual-centric approach to cinema, contrasting it with Hollywood's linear narratives. He discusses his painterly techniques in films like The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, defends his use of nudity, and proclaims the decline of traditional literary adaptations in film. He believes that the future of creativity lies in television and the Internet rather than Hollywood.
