THE GREENAWAY ALPHABET is a documentary giving an intimate portrait of the life and work of painter and filmmaker, Peter Greenaway.

sex
There are scenes taken from films directed by Peter Greenaway which include strong sexual activity, some of which depict incestuous scenarios. For example, a man's scrotum is exposed as a woman rides him. There are also other references to sex, including a model penis as part of an art exhibition.
nudity
There is full frontal female and male nudity, breast and buttock nudity. Some of the nudity occurs in a sexual context.
disturbing images
A scene from a film includes the body of a man revealed to dinner guests, the skin charred and burnt as if having been cooked.
additional issues
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('arse', 'shit', 'bloody hell' and 'Jesus'). There is verbal reference to a man's intention of taking his own life when he reaches 80 years of age, but these ideas are clearly challenged by his family. There are scenes from films depicting moderate violence, as well as archive footage of war violence, in which soldiers run across a battlefield under mortar fire. A scene from a film depicts a father being physically abusive towards his son.
