Theo Angelopoulos, Greece's premier contemporary director, exhibits an uncommon brilliance in manipulating long shots to create a lonely mood. He uses a poetic film language, sometimes carrying a philosophical taste, to manifest the recurrent themes of solitude, alienation, and melancholy. Angelopoulos seems successful in evoking tragedies from ancient Greek civilization in a film set in modern contexts. Now three masterpieces by this Greek genius come together in the Theo Angelopoulos boxset, featuring Ulysses' Gaze (1995), Landscape In The Mist (1988), and Voyage To Cythera (1984).

Theo Angelopoulos was born in Athens in 1936. First trained as a lawyer in Greece, he soon turned to filmmaking in the IDHEC, the prestigious film school in Paris. After that he returned to Greece and worked as a film critic for a few years before releasing his directorial debut in 1968, which was a short documentary, and his first feature film Reconstruction in 1970. The films selected in this boxset are his representative works which have been awarded at the reputable Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.


The Theo Angelopoulos Boxset Includes


Voyage To Cythera (1984)
A director attempts to make film about a political refugee who returns to Greece almost forty years after the Civil War. He follows the old man as he sells flowers, and, soon, imagination comes to invade reality and vice-versa. Thus begins the voyage in the landscapes of love, death, imagination and memory. Cythera, both an island and a painting, constitutes a utopia, while the course of the film follows personal experiences, existential anxiety and the traces of the history of the last decades. Everything is changing, with the result that the old refugee feels exiled in his own homeland. Heard over the ashes of past dreams, are the strains of a sad elegy for a lost generation and a lost time, for the crisis in creativity and the essential content of humanism. The film is huge in conception, a reflection on contemporary mythology and reflects Angelopoulos' recognisable style, in spite of his discernible shift from a dialogue with history to an anthropocentric axis.

AWARDS:
- Cannes Film Festival, 1984: Best Screenplay & the FIPRESCI International Critics Award


Landscape In The Mist (1988)
　　Landscape in the Mist is a desperate plea for credibility. It wants very badly to be admitted into the company of the austere masters of the cinema- people like Antonioni, Tarkovsky, and Bresson - but it only succeeds in reminding us of how much better those directors are. Instead of a precise symbolic system or compositional intelligence, the film feels like an amalgam of styles lifted from those that the director admires, plopped down in the middle of a willfully opaque script that defies all attempts at answering the basic questions that an audience might have. In short, the film is threadbare, an attempt at enigmatic art that fails to keep its flimsy imagery from crumbling in our hands.

　　And yet, I was never less than gripped by it. There is an irresistible camp solemnity to this film, made all the more ridiculous by being populated by various iron-on symbols and ruled by a stoic pair of children whose purity reaches ludicrous heights. Taken as a statement by its director, Theo Angelopoulos, it fails fairly spectacularly- but in showing dogged faith in the force of his vision, which at times borders on a delusion of grandeur, he manages to make a prefab fable worthy of Maria Montez and make it glow- one's interest never flags, knowing that the suffering of the little children will only get worse as the film goes on and reveling in the excessiveness of the false minimalism that envelops the film in a luxurious fog.

AWARDS:
- Venice Film Festival, 1988: OCIC Award & Silver Lion


Ulysses' Gaze (1995)
A Greek film maker exiled to the United States, returns to his native Ptolemais to attend a special screening of one of his extremely controversial films. But A’s real interest lies elsewhere - the mythical reels of the very first film shot by the Manakia brothers, who at the dawn of the age of cinema, tirelessly criss-crossed the Balkans and, without regard for national and ethnic strife, recorded the region’s history and customs. Did these primitive, never developed images really exist? If so, where are they? From Korita, Albania, to Skoplje, Macedonia, Bucharest to Costanza, Romania, down the Danube to what used to be Yugoslavia, from Belgrade to Sarajevo, A pursues his search for the Manakia brothers’ pictures. Along the way, he encounters his own history, the Balkan past, and women whom he could love. He hopes to find, in these forgotten pictures, the innocence of a virgin gaze.
