Audience Member The way Angelopoulos' camera is used can be described with two words, "pure magic". Combine that with a compelling story and there you have it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of Angelopoulos masterpieces, because it doesn't have enough punch and sharpness of thought. But it is a very impressive cinema with a wonderful camera work and some great moments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Ø·Ùب٠ÙÙغرباء Ù?٠اÙاÙطا٠٠اÙÙ...ÙاÙ?Ù Ùا٠ÙÙÙ...

Then I return to my body. It's the only thing that reminds me I'm alive. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Although this is not as emtional and strong a story as Angelopoulos' "Eternity and a Day", "Voyage to Cythera" is still a very, very good film. A filmmaker is dealing with personal memories while shooting a film about an old communist (the father of the film director?) who is not able to live up to the expectations that the new society is bringing down upon him. Through slow moving pictures that resemble a mix between Antonioni and Tarr, the greek master tells his story with clear emphasis on existentialism and not politics. This is powerful and unforgetable filmmaking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A film within a film; a dream within in a dream. Time is, forever, the question haunting Angelopolous, but it never stifles him. He can go back and forth, move up and down, stretch time to examine and force us to examine with him; and in the end he delivers a Masterpiece that culminates in one of the most memorable, haunting and visually stunning finales in the history of Cinema Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member a great film about the Greek civil war , who started after the great victory against Nazism the WW2 ....official dates 1946- 1949 . Government army against Greek communist ....a war without reason , cause Stalin did not support this war ...Anyway after the war many people killed and others escaped to East Europe ...The great actor Manos Katrakis is one from those who escaped ...years later many of them returned back after amnesia by the State of Greece ...our old hero in the film returns , but for some political reason , he has to leave again ....A great film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
