I have a friend who swears by Prospero's Books and says it's the best Peter Greenaway film. I've not seen it; I'm actually putting it off until a DVD is released because supposedly it's a visual masterpiece and must be seen in all its widescreen glory. I don't know of any plan for a DVD, though. Calling Criterion!!

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

A friend's dad recommended it to me, and I also want to wait for the DVD to see it.
