The Sundance Channel will be showing the full Tulse Luper Suitcase trilogy several times this month and back to back overnight on 26-27th July 2008 eastern time US.
The Tulse Luper Suitcases: Part One - The Moab Story
Director - Peter Greenaway
Audacious, ambitious and tantalizingly rich with enigmatic content, this three-part dramatic epic from British filmmaker Peter Greenaway (THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT) discards conventional narrative and explores nothing less than the course of the 20th century. Ostensibly a witty investigation into the life of collector, adventurer, journalist and spy Tulse Luper (J.J. Feild), the vital center of this unique film is Greenaway's encyclopedic layering of text, image-within-image and sound to create a cinematic equivalent of an experimental novel.

Director - Peter Greenaway
Filmmaker Peter Greenaway continues his epic, episodic walk through 20th century history as protagonist Tulse Luper witnesses World War II in Northern Europe. Greenaway's stories about Luper (J.J. Feild), collector, adventurer, journalist and spy, form the framing device for an audacious and ambitious attempt at a cinema of ideas - not plots - utilizing many of the same aesthetics as painting: structure, composition and framing. Visually stunning and tantalizingly rich with enigmatic content. With Isabella Rossellini and Franka Potente.
