Peter Greenaway: Lucca Mortis

The script for Peter Greenaway's highly anticipated 2022 film starring Morgan Freeman

British director Peter Greenaway (born 1942) teams up with the great actor Morgan Freeman for Lucca Mortis, a new film releasing in 2022, set in Lucca, Italy, and New York City. Lucca Mortis tells the story of an aging man living in Little Italy who feels compelled to reconnect with his roots and travels to Lucca, Italy, to do so. Known for his elaborate mise-en-sc?nes inspired by Italian and Dutch paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries, Greenaway has made such acclaimed films as The Draughtsman's Contract, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and Drowning by Numbers. Lucca Mortis is his 15th movie.

As with previous Greenaway books, this compact and affordable companion volume contains the film's script and stills, as well as Greenaway's drawings.
