Product Description

Product Description
Focusing on Angelopoulos' cinematic vision, this text provides a contextual study that attempts to demonstrate the quintessentially Greek nature of the director's work. The book situates the director in the context of over 3000 years of Greek culture and history. Angelopoulos has used cinema to explore the history and individual identities of his culture. With such far-reaching influences as Greek myth, ancient tragedy and epic, Byzantine inconography and ceremony, Greek and Balkan history, modern Greek pop culture (including bouzouki music), shadow puppet theatre and the Greek music hall tradition, Angelopoulos emerges as an original "thinker" with the camera and a distinctive director.

4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable text of a master of modern cinema, 7 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Horton's book provides an invaluable introduction to the work of a master of modern cinema. He identifies the major themes that emerge in Angelopoulous' work, and then looks at some of his movies in great depth, including a detailed account of the narratives in each. This is meant to allow the reader that has not seen any of the films to gain an insight into the work.

There are two major problems with the book. The first is that it should have included more images from his films since Angelopoulos' work is so dependant on the composition of the frame etc. Also, there could have been room for a more critical approach to his work. As it stands, it feels like not enough questions were asked of an artist whos work ought to provoke more than mere reverance from those familiar with his work.

Otherwise, this is a stong into to A's work which, hopefully, will be added to as his career continues.
