"Antwerp" continues telling the picaresque adventures through the world of multi disciplinary artist and professional prisoner Tulse Luper. This movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival as a separate title located between the first and the second part of the Greenanway Tulse Luper Trilogy.
In this experimental film, Tulse Luper's life is explored through a series of surreal events and encounters. From his experiences during the Nazi occupation of Moab, Utah to his love letters and interactions with various characters, the film delves into themes of war, love, and identity. Told in a nonlinear narrative, the story unfolds through a collection of suitcases, each containing a different chapter of Luper's life. Along the way, viewers are taken on a journey filled with surrealism, symbolism, and unexpected twists and turns.
In this sequel, Tulse Luper continues his journey discovering more hidden suitcases that hold mysterious secrets. Along the way, he explores surreal landscapes and encounters intriguing characters. The movie delves into the dynamics of male-female and husband-wife relationships.
The Tulse Luper Suitcases reconstructs the life of Tulse Luper, a professional writer and project-maker, caught up in a life of prisons. He was born in 1911 in Newport, South Wales and presumably last heard of in 1989. His life is reconstructed from the evidence of 92 suitcases found around the world - 92 being the atomic number of the element Uranium. The project includes three feature films, a TV series, 92 DVDs, CD-ROMs, and books.
Follows Tulse Luper as he is swept into the ill-fortuned tides of the 20th century and forced to spend his life in a succession of imprisonments.
