Darwin: A 1993 Film by Peter Greenaway. As with most Greenaway films, the visual composition of individual scenes in Darwin reflects the director's fascination with Renaissance painting (he was first trained as a muralist). In 2006, Greenaway even embarked on an ambitious series of video installations called Nine Classic Paintings Revisited, in which he applied his often controversial vision to The Last Supper, The Wedding at Cana and other famous artworks. You can watch an interview with the filmmaker about The Last Supper here. Even better, watch his 2010 UC-Berkeley lecture on the inspiration and philosophy behind the entire project, which we've included in our collection of 275 Cultural Icons. We've also added Darwin to our collection of Free Movies Online. via Biblioklept. Biology Index.
