A Life in Suitcases: A History of Tulse Luper (2005)
A Life in Suitcases: A History of Tulse Luper is a 2005 history movie directed by Peter Greenaway, with a running time of 2h. It stars JJ Feild, Roger Rees and Stephen Billington.
A comic study of 20th-century history, reconstructing the life of writer, creator and professional prisoner Tulse Luper. Born in 1911 Newport and last heard of in 1989, Luper’s life is pieced together from the evidence found in 92 suitcases scattered across the globe. A Life in Suitcases condenses the six-hour trilogy into a single two-hour feature, and in doing so, accentuates the project as a filmic essay in multiple narratives, listings, sidebars, footnotes, commentaries and anecdotes; a project for an Information Age ready to understand that there never is a phenomenon called History, there can only be Historians, gatekeepers to vested interests.
