The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos

The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos is the first piece of scholarship to assess the director's complete works, approaching them more comprehensively than any commentary published to date. Bringing together established and emerging scholars from multiple disciplines, the collection's unique contribution is to show how Angelopoulos created singularly intricate forms whose aesthetic contours invite us to think critically about modern history. lts chapters participate in the collective claim that Angelopoulos' films are not abstract exercises in artistic style but, rather, serious bids to represent the energetic forces of history by using techniques specific to cinema.
