	The Tulse Luper Suitcases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is structured around 92 suitcases allegedly belonging to Luper, 92 being the atomic number of Uranium as well as a number used by Greenaway in the formal structure of his earlier work (most notably The Falls).
		The character of Tulse Luper has appeared in several of Peter Greenaway's earlier film works, and in The Tulse Luper Suitcases a substantial portion of Greenaway's output is briefly presented as if it had been filmed by Luper.
		Tulse Luper, like Greenaway himself, is a keeper of extensive lists and catalogues, which serve as a sort of prism through which everything is seen.

	Tulse Luper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tulse Luper is a fictional 20th century character, created by Peter Greenaway.
		Tulse Luper is mentioned in Peter Greenaway's early films A Walk Through H: The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist and The Falls, and appears as the major character in The Tulse Luper Suitcases project where he is to be considered as Character Number Two.
		In an interview given with salon.com, Peter Greenaway stated "Tulse Luper is a sort of alter ego created many years ago -- Tulse could be said to rhyme with the pulse in your wrist, and Luper is a corruption of the Latin for wolf.

	The Tulse Luper Suitcases
		Peter Greenaway’s project “The Tulse Luper Suitcases” is the most ambitious work in Greenaway’s oeuvre; combining the types of media that he has dabbled with in his previous works and expanding them in a way that provides commentary on his previous work and the concept of the master narrative.
		I think his “Tulse Luper Suitcases” project is an indication of the direction he wants to see cinema and other forms of media go in the future.
		The Tulse Luper Suitcase Series, executed in 1990, is an example of the latter.

	[ DreamLogic FILM REVIEWS \| Greenaway's Tulse Luper Suitcases ]
		So he has created this Tulse Luper film series, perhaps a summation of his life's work, as a way of looking ahead, making multiple film references, but presents it in a format where it will likely be seen by most using a DVD player.
		This film features the travels and tribulations of one Tulse Luper, stuck in a universe oddly obsessed with the number 92, the atomic number for uranium, as there are 92 characters, 92 major events, and 92 suitcases carrying obscure items.
		These suitcases become the man, as it is from their roving perspective that moments in 20th century history are seen or re-imagined, suggesting a world with fluid or ever-changing ideas rather than any fixed interpretations.

	[No title]
		An adventurer, writer, `project maker,' professional prisoner and finder of lost things, Luper traverses several continents, 16 prisons (literal and metaphorical), and 60 years of the Atomic Age, from the discovery of Uranium in 1928 to the Cold War's swan song, the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
		"Tulse Luper" is Peter Greenaway's latest and most obvious attempt to shell-shock the audience with the notion that filmmaking itself is complete artifice (we all know that anyway), and any attempt to lure the viewer into a traditional (or any) narrative is for naught.
		This idea, of course, is nothing too profound and, Greenaway, with the disastrous "8 1/2 Women" and now "Tulse Luper," has begun to move radically away from what once made him a fascinating filmmaker with the most acutely realized visual mastery (courtesy of the great Sacha Vierney).

	The Tulse Luper Suitcases: Peter Greenaway's Mediatic Journey through History by Heidi Peeters
		The Tulse Luper Suitcases is Peter Greenaway's most recent work, [1] but, at the same time, it is still very much in progress, ever under construction, ever expanding to new domains and new corners of media.
		The adventures and travels of Luper (reminiscent of the picaresque novel) are interwoven with documentary footage from First World War food drops in Antwerp, 3D-digital reconstructions of ancient Mormon cities in the Utah desert, and minute examinations of the material within the 92 suitcases Luper has collected.
		In this view, Luper, next to being imprisoned by the brick walls of his cells, is of course also imprisoned by the epistemic power in which he finds himself positioned.

		The common hook running through the project is the eponymous suitcases, each of which opens reveals an object which triggers an event in the central character Tulse Luper's life.
		Tulse Luper, who has appeared in a number of Greenaway's projects before, has been described as an alter-ego of the director himself.
		Greenaway said the feeling he was trying to create from having The Tulse Luper Suitcases across such a range of media was one of "passionate detachment" - something he said tied into his own perspective of himself.

		Luper travelled to Antwerp, where he maintained a successful cover as a British journalist.

		Ten years later, we find Luper in the Utah desert where he is again jailed, this time for his association with the wrong people.

		LUPER explodes with multiple possibilities, the screen divided into squares, the soundtrack fragmented with competing commentaries, other films and casts (through audition clips), mixed into these busy frames.
		There was also a way that Tulse Luper peopled a lot of my early films.
		Philip Glass is already working on an opera based upon the contents of suitcase 32, we have a Tokyo soap television series on the contents of suitcase 49, and we've just had a play on in Frankfurt about the contents of suitcase 46...so every single suitcase itself will spawn another project...

	d+kaz . Tribeca Film Festival 2005
		To boil the essence of the work down it a sentence, the Tulse Luper Suitcases is a biographical, hyper-textual, encyclopedic story of a fictional man. Greenaway explores the life of Luper through a myriad of sources, from text to photographs, old footage, reconstructions, dramatizations, faux-historical accounts, hearsay, music, and so on and so forth.
		The suitcases (all 92 of them) embody this notion the best, existing as emblems of Luper’s desire (read, Greenaways’) to categorize all things under one system (though even the project’s unintegrated, cross-media aspect immediately denies this ability).
		Therefore it is not so much Luper’s odd life that is of import, but rather his existence as a vector point for an endless amount of interesting and arcane trivia.
