Dear Ingar,
I have examined the use of multiple narratives in the films of Peter
Greenaway (especially in A Zed and Two Noughts, Drowning by Numbers, The
Cook the Thief his Wife and her Lover, Draughtsman's Contract, The Baby
of Macon). Here are some of the sources I have used. Perhaps they might
help you. However I must warn you that I am not very familiar with the
films you mention so the sources below might not be applicable to your
inquiry but you can, at least, check them.
-Podevin, Robin Le. "Worlds within Worlds? Paradoxes ofEmbedded Fiction."
British Journal of Aesthetics. Vol. 35. No. 3. (July 1995): 227-38.
-Elliott, Bridget, and Anthony Purdy. Architecture and Allegory. West
Sussex: Academy Editions, 1997. (especially their description of 'museum
films' on p. 90)
- You can also look at Deleuze's distinction between organic narration and
non-organic narration (or movement-image and time-image)in his books
Cinema Iand II.
- I have also used Foucault's The Order of Things. (especially the
introduction where he mentions about Borges' Chinese Encyclopedia)
- You can also look at W. Benjamin's concept of allegory.
