Brief Description: Peter Greenaway's fascinating essay on death and revolution is set in the period between April 1795 and September 1801, when over 300 bodies were pulled from the River Seine in Paris. Two mortuary attendants dutifully noted the condition of each body in great detail, including their clothing, possessions and wounds. This bounty of information is the basis for Greenaway's structuralist speculation on the lives of these corpses and their relationship to the French Revolution.
