    1st in trilogy. My, my, my... so very very sad, breaks your heart. Dont know if Ill see the other films or not because its too depressing, but undoubtedly a wonderfully made film.

    I remember someone saying that when you go to a theatre, you expect more than a story. A story is worthless by itself. Everyone has stories but in film, it is one beautiful elelment out of the many stunning aspects of film.

    I will then say this film is a spectacular masterpiece ...( read more)by a director that continues making masterpiecees. I hate declaring geniuses all the time because only one in a million people are geniuses, this one is and this film proves it.

    Not for the faint of heart this is unrelenting stuff. Prepare yourself for tragedy, then add a large dose of more tragedy and top it off with some tragedy. All the while keeping as cold an eye as Kubrick, almost documentary apart from a wonderful dream like sequence. A Bleak Mast...( read more)erpiece. Don't expect a happy ending.

    Every shot Angelopoulos creates is like a minor miracle. Very few directors can make a film like this nowadays. He is perhaps the last modernist working in cinema. Visually breathtaking!

Angelopoulos does not relate the story of his country so much as linger amid the whispered backstories of its citizens, and we are somehow left to fill in the shadowy gaps. full review
