Abstract

"The cinema of Theo Angelopoulos is celebrated as challenging the status quo. From the political films of the 1970s through to the more existential works of his later career, Vrasidis Karalis argues for a coherent and nuanced philosophy underpinning Angelopoulos' work. The political force of his films, including the classic The Travelling Players (1975), gave way to more essayistic works exploring identity, love, loss, memory and, ultimately, mortality. This development of sensibilities is charted along with the key cultural moments informing Angelopoulos' shifting thinking. From Voyage to Cythera (1984) until his last film, The Dust of Time (2009), Angelopoulos' problematic heroes in search of meaning and purpose engaged with the thinking of Plato, Mark, Heidegger, Arendt and Luckacs, both implicitly and explicitly. Theo Angelopoulos also explores the rich visual language and 'ocular poetics' of Angelopopulos' oeuvre and his mastery of communicating profundity through the everyday. Karalis argues for a reading of his work that embraces contradiction and celebrates the unsettling questions at the heart of his work"--

Abstract

Une analyse des treize longs-métrages du cinéaste grec, de La reconstitution (1970) à La poussière du temps (2008), en passant par des chefs-d'oeuvre, tels que Le voyage des comédiens (1975) ou L'éternité et un jour (1998). Centrés sur la critique de l'idéologie totalitaire, ses films revêtent une dimension poétique grâce à l'utilisation du plan-séquence ou au jeu sur l'espace et le temps. ©Electre 2021 "Célèbre cinéaste grec, Théo Angelopoulos (1935-2012) occupe une place à part dans le cinéma mondial. L'histoire de la Grèce contemporaine (1936-1988), insérée dans le contexte de l'histoire de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle en Europe, tisse la toile de fond de ses films centrés sur une critique passionnée de l'idéologie totalitaire. L'oeuvre de Théo Angelopoulos? treize films de La Reconstitution (1970) à La Poussière du temps (2008) dont plusieurs chefs-d'oeuvre tels que Le Voyage des comédiens ou L'Eternité et un jour (Palme d'or au Festival du Cannes en 1998), incarne, comme celle de Francesco Rosi, un cinéma éminemment politique."

Abstract

Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos is one of the most influential and widely respected filmmakers in the world today, yet his films are still largely unknown to the American public. In the first book in English to focus on Angelopoulos's unique cinematic vision, Andrew Horton provides an illuminating contextual study that attempts to demonstrate the quintessentially Greek nature of the director's work. Horton situates the director in the context of over 3,000 years of Greek culture and history. Somewhat like Andrei Tarkovsky in Russia or Antonioni in Italy, Angelopoulos has used cinema to explore the history and individual identities of his culture. With such far-reaching influences as Greek myth, ancient tragedy and epic, Byzantine iconography and ceremony, Greek and Balkan history, modern Greek pop culture including bouzouki music, shadow puppet theater, and the Greek music hall tradition, Angelopoulos emerges as an original "thinker" with the camera, and a distinctive director who is bound to make a lasting contribution to the art form. In a series of films including The Travelling Players, Voyage to Cythera, Landscape in the Mist, The Suspended Step of the Stork, and most recently in Ulysses' Gaze starring Harvey Keitel (winner of the 1995 Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix), Angelopoulos has developed a remarkable cinematic style, characterized by carefully composed scenes and an enormous number of extended long shots. In an age of ever decreasing attention spans, Angelopoulos offers a cinema of contemplation.
