| | dark discussion - Trilogy I: The Weeping Meadow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | In connection with the Tessaloniki IFF in Nov 2003, the European maestro of modern cinema — Theo Angelopoulos — was interviewed by the festival programme manager, Michel Demopoulos, and a group of journalists. |
 | | Angelopoulos talks about how much he would like to shoot a film with Michelle Pfeiffer, Elias Koteas, Harvey Keitel and either Dennis Hopper or Sean Penn. He talks about that there are always two tendencies, The Godard tendency and the Hitchcock tendency: One writes everything down and the other finds everything during shooting. |
 | | All the typical Angelopoulos trademarks are here: Very long runtime - about 3 hrs, long static shots from steady-cam, sparse editing, camera movement is often replaced by movement of characters and action, almost abstract images, arresting set pieces, panoramic landscape compositions, spellbinding score, and his familiar colour scheme of greens, greys and browns. |
