 Theo Angelopoulos - musicolog.com
Originally part of the so-called "Paris group", which was at the core of reaction in the sixties against traditional cinema, he soon moved away on his own to trace a brilliant course across the cinematic firmament, carving for himself an important niche among the great directors of the past century.
The technical and structural characteristics of the work, such as the use of sequence-scenes, the theatrical cutting of his scenes, or the theory of Brechtian distancing, are the elements which allow him to interpret cinematic realism on new terms, to "invent" a cinematic style and to formulate a new trend in creating a spectacle.

By paralleling the geographic and moral desolation of a neglected and abandoned wife with the plight of an ancestral rural village, Angelopoulos reflects the contemporary national trauma of cultural uprooting and suppression of collective history.
Angelopoulos frames the characters through medium and long shots in order to create a distant camera perspective, and reflects their own insignificance in their reluctant roles as peripheral witnesses to the country's turmoil.

To some, Angelopoulos is the sort of auteur to be revered rather than enjoyed; but open yourself up to the slow, incantatory rhythms of his cinema and their deep pleasures become apparent (I speak as someone moved to tears by the closing moments of Eternity and a Day).

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.

 Theo Angelopoulos
Though he may not be well known amongst the general populace of American moviegoers, filmmaker, screenwriter and producer Theo Angelopoulos is one of the premiere contemporary directors in his native Greece, and according to some critics, the world.

In 1965, Angelopoulos attempted to direct his first film, but an argument with the producer killed the project and he didn't try again until 1968 when he directed a short documentary.
