In Water Wrackets Peter Greenway acknowledges his interest in anthropological parodies and his enthusiasm for the world of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series by inventing a fictitious civilisation called the “Wrackets” in the beautiful Wiltshire area. Opening with melancholic images of running streams where movement is created by refracting light, the film’s narrator describes the character of Agateer who organises a military manoeuvre to dam a stream and create nine lakes.
