Rate: The Films of Theo Angelopoulos

[B-side]

If anyone has a link to a prior consensus on him that I can't find, please link me and the mods can feel free to close this. If not, then let those ratings fly. I've only seen Landscape in the Mist, which was great. I'm getting The Beekeeper right now. It's, shockingly, only about 2 hours. Plus, it has Marcello Mastroianni in it. That's always a plus.

Absolutely no help to you, but...

Landscape in the Mist - 10

[Duncan]

The Weeping Meadow - 7.0

Interesting aesthetic though, and I'd like to see more from him. You don't often find films consisting almost entirely of long shots that feel overly melodramatic.

[Llopin]

He surely is an overlooked director...

The Weeping Meadow - 8
Eternity and a Day - 9.5
Ulysses' Gaze - 7.5
The Suspended Step of the Stork - 8.5
Landscape in the Mist - 8.5
Voyage to Cythera - 7
The Travelling Players - 9

Most of them are mandatory viewings, specially Eternity and a Day. Cannot wait to see Dust of Time...

I'm dying to see Ulysses' Gaze, The Weeping Meadow, The Travelling Players, etc. but they're all rather long and I don't wanna watch them on a computer. Curse my lack of a DVD burner.

The Beekeeper was terrific. Review in my blog, if you're interested.

I should have realized this thread was almost three years old when I saw a Llopin post. I have sadly only heard of Theo Angelopoulos today, so this thread is helpful to me as well in terms of recommendations.

Nothing quite like having recommendations of films you'll never watch.
