H is for House

This short film was the first movie directed by Peter Greenaway that I've ever seen. I heard a lot about his works, but I didn't dare to watch any of them for a long time.
As far as I know, Greenaway is fond of creating sort of visual vocabularies. We certainly won't look for any connection between the things and ideas, designated with words beginning from the same letter, but at the same time these things are inseparably linked in our mind by means of language. So the movie shows us the absolute illogicality of it by providing us with an absurd set of words beginning with H. Some things that should be connected begin from different letters, e. g. sun and heliocentric. And some opposite ideas both begin with H, e. g. heaven and hell.
The interesting thing is that the older we get, the less we notice this absurdity of words. We get captured by our language and don't even realise it.
What Greenaway also shows in this short film is that things that we say or do can have as little sence as this simple enumeration of words. The most hard and most important altogether is to single out the meaningful segments. And you have to do it in your real life as well as while watching the movie. Although the film was shot in 1973, I think the ideas that it reveals are still topical issues.
