Walking to Paris

Wissenswertes

Walking to Paris is an unreleased biographical drama film directed and written by Peter Greenaway. It is devoted to an 18-month journey through Europe, by Constantin Brâncuși, at the beginning of the 20th century. The film is not a documentary, nor is it a biographical film, but rather a fiction imagined by the British director from a real fact about which hardly any details are known.

Production

The winter sequences were shot in Italy and Switzerland in late 2015. Further production, to capture the summer sequences, was reportedly planned for mid 2016, though Greenaway stated in early 2017 that the scenes had yet to be shot.

In December 2022, Greenaway stated that post-production on the film had still not been completed; that it was "languishing in a laboratory in Rome", and that he had moved on from the project, saying:

It got chewed up and regorged and reconsidered by a whole group of producers who are still arguing about finishing it. We still have to dub it, we still have to create it, etc. As far as my creativity on the film is concerned, it's completely finished now and has been for about two years, but it's very difficult to wrestle this wretched phenomenon out of the hands of warring producers.

The original soundtrack is by Marco Robino, Marco Gentile, and the Turin Architorti string quintet, picking up a collaboration already provided with the director (Rembrandt's J'accuse, Goltzius and the Pelican Company).
