when you see the cook, the thief, his wife & her lover, you do think: oh my god, they copied this in the riddle of the sphinx. happily, in the podcast episode about it, around 20:30, they talk about just how minute the imitation is

there's a bit when the fork sort of catches on his lip, and i was really trying to recreate that. the sort of – augh. (the dry mouth.) it's just horrible.
even beyond this moment – you can see the influence on the character / performance / look (especially the look), and on the ep as a whole. the gambon character is not exactly a squires type, but they share a smugness, explicit ownership of the space, a sexual creepiness, and of course they both get forced into cannibalism as a sort of symbolic comeuppance before getting shot in the face. (steve's actual impression of him is really good & very different!)
recently i swear i read something where reece was talking about squires's hair, how it was steve's own hair & he grew it longer than it's ever been – if anyone knows where that was pls remind me 😭 anyways if you look at gambon in the movie it becomes really clear why he did that. great look imo ... i like him playing guys who are secretly horrible, she said, surprising nobody

though i don't know if they've ever explicitly said so, i think another peter greenaway film – the draughtsman's contract – was a clear influence on curse of the ninth. the working artist (sort of) being brought onto the estate & tricked/blackmailed into some rich people's convoluted scheme... the awful personal cost of making art, the sexy rich widow...

Mrs. Herbert: "Pomegranate, Mr Neville. Gift of Hades to Persephone."
Mr. Neville: "Madam, my scholarship is not profound."
Mrs. Herbert: "Unusual of you, Mr Neville, to profess to an ignorance of a subject which before you would be anxious to have us believe was an essential prerequisite to an artist's vocabulary."
Mr. Neville: "Maybe, madam, I am hesitating to acknowledge an unintended allusion."
Mrs. Herbert: "By eating the fruit of the pomegranate, Mr Neville, Pluto kept Persephone in the Underworld."
Mr. Neville: "A symbolic fruit, Mrs Herbert. And you've brought me three."
Excerpt from The Draughtsman's Contract (1982) by Peter Greenaway.

Das Ideogramm der Kanzleien
1.
Nach den Wellenlinien der Nambikwara, den Listen und Tabellen der Notitia Dignitum und Kafkas Saum bildet des Ideogramm der Kanzleien einen weiteren Aspekt in Cornelia Vismann Modell ziemlich gründlicher Linien. Das Ideogramm (das Bildzeichen oder die Bildzeichnung) ist ein Objekt der Büro- und Studiokratie oder der Kanzleien. Es kombiniert Elemente der (Kontra-)Signatur mit Elementen des velums, also des Schleiers zur Rasterung von Blick und Bild, wie ihn Leon Battista Alberti empfohlen hat. Das Ideogramm nimmt Elemente der (Kontra-)Signatur auf, weil seine Zeichnung das Zeichen gibt, der Text sei nun nicht mehr eine Version oder Fassung unter anderen, sondern er sei nun verfasst und fertig und sei nun autorisiert, die Kanzlei zu verlassen. Das Schreiben muss durch diese Zeichnung durch, muss gezeichnet sein. Vismann vergleicht das Ideogramm mit (Gitter-)Stäben, hinter denen der Codex Fiorentinus präsentiert wurde. Das Ideogramm ist ein Objekt zur kontrafaktischen Stabilisierung eines Textes, der weiterhin unterschiedlich gelesen, ab Moment der Zeichnung aber nicht mehr unterschiedlich geschrieben werden soll. Das Ideogramm 'stabilisiert kontrafaktisch', stabil sind die Stäbe, auch die Buchstaben. Das Ideogramm lanciert den Text - gibt ihn zur Lektüre.
2.
Die Linien des Ideogramms bilden ein Raster, sie bilden Sperren, Balken oder Barren - und richten an anderer Stelle, in Form des Velums, den Blick und Bild einer Technik ein, die im Florenz des 15. Jahrunderts den Namen costruzione legittima erhält.
Warburg verfolgt auf den Staatstafeln nicht nur Bilder, nicht nur Bilder von Zügen, sondern auch Worte und Begriffe: Vertrag, contract, treaty, Betrachtung, Trachten; Traktat, draft, draught, treat, tract, train. Dass er über das Tragen und Trachten nachdenkt, das kann man auch aus seinen Notizen, u.a. denen aus dem Kontext zum Vortrag über das Schlangenritual und denen zu den grundlegenden Bruckstücken entnehmen. Er behandelt dabei Wörter, Begriffe, Buchstaben auf eine Weise, wie er Bilder behandelt, nämlich als Objekte, die durch Rom gegangen sind und nach Rom pendeln.
