The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos
The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos
Cite
Abstract
This book is the first critical assessment of one of the leading figures of modernist European art cinema. Assessing his complete works, the book brings together a team of internationally regarded experts and emerging scholars from multiple disciplines, to provide a definitive account of Theo Angelopoulos' formal reactions to the historical events that determined life during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Refusing to restrict its approach to the confines of the Greek national film industry, the book approaches Angelopoulos' work as representative of modernism more generally, and in particular of the modernist imperative to document its allusive historical objects through artistic innovation. Retrospective in nature, the book argues that Angelopoulos' films are not emblems of a bygone historical and cultural era or abstract exercises in artistic style, but are foreshadowing documents that speak to the political complexities and economic contradictions of the present.
