Vertical Features Remake (Greenaway, 1978): Un exercicio paródico (1/2)
B.- A parodia inclúe un compoñente de sátira ou burla sobre o orixinal que o pastiche non ten por que ter. Neste sentido podemos considerar Vertical Features Remake como unha parodia dun structural film. Nembargantes, a exactitude e insistencia coa que Greenaway repite as características da estética da que se burla fai que o seu Vertical Features Remake se convirta en certo modo, aínda que en principio poida resultar parodóxico, nun structural film que protesta contra si mesmo, contra a condición dominante que durante unha época tivo este “método” nos círculos cinéfilos.
“Vertical Features Remake is a love-hate, or more appropriately, celebration-criticism, of structural method, unthinkingly and stupidly dominant in film circles at that time. If you claimed to be a structuralist your credentials were good enough to receive film-financing. Five years before you had to be a good Marxist-Socialist Feminist and then the coffers would be open, five years later, you could get financed if you demonstrated Political Correctness and a love of California” (http://petergreenaway.org.uk/vfr.htm).
B2.-Nigel Andrews explícao do seguinte xeito:
"The fascination with academic methodicality which pervades Greenaway's work, sometimes in comic battle with its opposite - nature, spontaneity, instinct - sometimes standing alone, reaches fetishistic dimensions in Vertical Features Remake." (http://petergreenaway.org.uk/vfr.htm)
