A Life in Suitcases is a fascinating dive into the absurdity and complexity of 20th-century history. Peter Greenaway creates this unique tapestry through the life of Tulse Luper, whose story is told through 92 suitcases scattered around the world. The film blends adventure and drama in a way that feels both playful and profound. The tone shifts frequently, with quirky humor interspersed with moments of genuine reflection, creating a rich but scattered narrative that mirrors Luper's own fragmented existence. The practical effects and inventive visuals add layers to the storytelling, making it distinctive. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that gives it a very organic feel, much like piecing together a life from scattered memories.
