Critic Reviews

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    The Weeping Meadow doesn't offer quite enough sugar for its harsh medicine to go down easily.

    Angelopoulos has created a memorably sweeping survey, but even an epic needs some moments of genuine intimacy.

  • Dana Stevens, New York Times

    The first in a projected trilogy by the Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, The Weeping Meadow is a beautiful and devastating meditation on war, history and loss.
