One of earliest features from Greek filmmaker Theodore Angelopoulos, Days of '36 is a critique of dictatorial social repression in contemporary Greece as told through the relatively straightforward story of a prisoner who, in 1936, takes a conservative politician hostage on a visit to his jail. Even here, Angelopoulos' fluid, lengthy, and mobile sequence shots predominate. Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize Forum of New Cinema at the 1973 Berlin Film Festival. In Greek with optional English, Greek, and French subtitles. Theo Angelopoulos---Greece---1972---105 mins.

From master filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos (Ulysses' Gaze, The Traveling Players) comes the 1998 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or winner. Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire) stars in this poetic, haunting and abundantly beautiful film, playing a dying man trying to make peace with his past. He finds a surprising source of hope when he encounters a young Albanian orphan. "A masterpiece that recalls such classics as Bergman's Wild Strawberries and Kurosawa's Ikiru" (Kevin Thomas, Newsday). In Greek with Theo Angelopoulos---Greece---1998---130 mins.

Theo Angelopoulos' moving portrait of two sad-eyed children who traverse Greece in search of their father is a portrayal of loneliness, disillusionment and betrayal and the vision of a world that is both impersonal and unfeeling. The children's painful odyssey is fraught with terrifying figures, allegorical visions (a hand rising from the sea, a dead white horse outlined in the snow) and self-delusion. With Michalis Zeke, Tania Palaiologou, Eva Kotamanidou and Alika Georgouli. In Greek with English subtitles. Theo Angelopoulos---Greece/France/Italy---1988---125 mins.

Eloquent and mystifying, Theodore Angelopoulos' To Meteoro Vima tou Pelargou concerns a Greek television reporter, Alexandre (Gregory Patrikareas), who thinks he has discovered a politician (Marcello Mastroianni) believed dead or in hiding for years. In a remote village populated by refugees, Alexandre meets a shabby wretch (also Mastroianni) who might be the missing politician who vanished a decade before. "All the elements of a first-rate Angelopoulos film are here, from the political undercurrent to the sustained long-shots that are his trademark" (The New York Times). With Jeanne Moreau. Nominated for the Golden Palm at Cannes. In Greek with optional Theo Angelopoulos---Greece---1991---136 mins.
