    THE CINEMATIC LANGUAGE OF THEO ANGELOPOULOS


    Vrasidas Karalis

    Summary
    Beginning with his first film Reconstruction, released in 1970, Theo Angelopoulos’s notoriously complex cinematic
    language has long explored Greece’s contemporary history and questioned European culture and society. The
    Cinematic Language of Theo Angelopoulos offers a detailed study and critical discussion of the acclaimed
    filmmaker’s cinematic aesthetics as they developed over his career, exploring different styles through which Greek
    and European history, identity, and loss have been visually articulated throughout his oeuvre, as well as his impact
    on both European and global cinema.

    “This illuminating book offers a powerful synthesizing account of the films of Theo Angelopoulos by framing them
    within a biographical context. By positioning Angelopoulos’ work within an array of philosophical, cinematic, and
    art-historical contexts, the author brings us closer to Angelopoulos’ existential, political, philosophical and *expires November 30, 2021
    aesthetic quests.” • Lydia Papadimitriou, Liverpool John Moores University
