Influenced somewhat by popular child and adult adventure literature such as The Wind in the Willows and Lord of The Rings, Water Wrackets (d. Peter Greenaway, 1978) is a mythological story about a fictional species associated with water. It is essentially a spoof piece of anthropology following this imaginary culture's growth and decline, through its leaders, wars, and other significant events, all in homage to the English television documentary tradition. Laurel Warbrick-Keay *This film is included in the BFI DVD compilation 'The Early Films of Peter Greenaway Volume 1'.
