Product Description

Distinguished Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos directs the great Marcello Mastroianni in this extraordinary and beautifully photographed tale of self-discovery. Mastroianni plays Spyros, a schoolmaster of late middle-age who, like his father before him, is also a beekeeper. Disenchanted and unfulfilled by his life, Spyros takes leave of his wife and grown children to embark on a solitary journey in search of the emerging springtime flowers for his cherished beehives. Moving from village to village, he encounters a young girl hitchhiker who awakens in him feelings that start to become an obsession. Charged with quiet emotional intensity, The Beekeeper is a moving and powerful film about a man s struggle to find release from the spectre of the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 26 Feb 2012
Format:DVD
One of the film people will study about in future. An extraordinary performance by Mastroianni under the well-known breathtaking direction of Angelopoulos.

4.0 out of 5 stars A middle age crisis or understanding yourself 28 Feb 2011
Format:DVD
A simple story well told with compeling performances which takes you in different places than you expect to go. A middle aged beekeeper meets the last few friends who still move bees at certain times of the year, he then picks up a hitchhiker, a young free spirited girl who both uses and and loves ther older man.
A long, slow and deep story which makes you question who is using who. It also comments very well changing times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slowly Intoxicating 26 Jan 2011
By DG Wing
Format:DVD
The film is very slow to start and very slow to end, however, once you are in the mood for such a slow burner the storyline wraps you up and takes you on the journey with Spyro. Watch this when your looking for the reflection and respite of a busy period.
