dsl ◊ 2013-05-01 00:35	1983 documentary which provided some footage for From the Sea to the Land Beyond, but without any crossover of things for imcdb interest. Weird Peter Greenaway project of modern footage of British coast with a staccato commentary of facts and statistics - some of which gets totally out of sync with the images - accompanied by Michael Nyman music clearly from a period when he was trying to be Philip Glass but did not have the equipment. One over-generous quote, which might also intrigue ingo, describes it as "Accompanying the images, alongside Nyman’s dramatic score, is a voice reciting a list of statements and statistics about the sea. Some of these ‘facts’ are accurate, some tongue-in-cheek, and some are eccentric (and most probably spurious “… Skegness has a mermaid…”)." The full list of facts is posted here. Film can be seen here, or extract here. Edit Dec 2015 - there was a better quality full version online in 2013 when I first posted, but it's now disappeared. It gets a page here for the single entry worth listing because I never realised these existed; there's an occasional scatter of blurry very background things such as a blue Vitesse at one point, but these two snowy harbour shots are the only other pictures I took, and not really worth that. 1] Merc S-class (W116) - definite ID onscreen as the camera sweeps round 2] Bedford TK -- Last edit: 2015-12-20 23:05:44
