Eternity and a Day
First screened in May 2020
Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Cast: Bruno Ganz, Achileas Skevis, Isabelle Renauld, Despina Bebedelli, Iris Chatziantoniou, Eleni Gerasimidou, Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Alekos Oudinotis, Nikos Kouros, Alexandra Ladikou. Screenplay: Theo Angelopoulos, Tonino Guerra, Petros Markaris, and Giorgio Silvagni.

Twitter Capsule: Angelopoulos moving in Resnais directions. Not the smoothest fit, but the duel of heavy and diaphanous works.

VOR:   Angelopoulos is sincere and rigorous throughout, sometimes to a fault. I'm not positive he's showing much new in his style, but this is intricate and thoughtful.
