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.
