4:57Now PlayingSex, Art and Death have been the mainstay of British director Peter Greenaway's films, depicted in glorious painterly detail in movies such as 'The Draughtsman's Contract' and 'The Cook The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover'. His latest work, 'Golztius and the Pelican Company', explores the idea of sex eroticism and religious hypocrisy through the prism of six bible stories involving taboos such as incest and paedophilia. The hero narrator is 16th century Dutch engraver Hendrik Goltzius, who stages the stories in order to get a possible patron, to cough up for a revolutionary new printing press. Kirsty Wark met Peter Greenaway at The National Gallery in London where the film is being screened - they met in front of 'Jupiter and Antiope' by Goltzius himself.
