Description de l'ouvrage:
Demonstrates how the films of Theo Angelopoulos react aesthetically to their historical period
The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos is the first critical assessment of one of the leading figures of modernist European art cinema. Assessing his complete works, this groundbreaking collection brings together a team of internationally regarded experts and emerging scholars from multiple disciplines, to provide a definitive account of Angelopoulos’ formal reactions to the historical events that determined life during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Refusing to restrict its approach to the confines of the Greek national film industry, the book approaches his work as representative of modernism more generally, and in particular of the modernist imperative to document its allusive historical objects through artistic innovation.
Retrospective in nature, The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos argues that Angelopoulos’ films are not emblems of a bygone historical and cultural era or abstract exercises in artistic style, but are foreshadowing documents that speak to the political complexities and economic contradictions of the present.

Revue de Presse:
A much needed and welcome addition to this corpus of critical literature...The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos will unquestionably become the key reference point in future anglophone studies of, perhaps, one of the last great European auteurs.'– Sean Homer, American University in Bulgaria, Journal of Greek Media & Culture
Theo Angelopoulos is the cinema’s great untimely director: always restlessly mixing historical periods, political contexts, geographic locations. Today, not long after his death, his films urgently call to us from their era: 50 glorious years of innovative, modernist experimentation put in the service of both mythic poetry and engaged social critique. This superb book, which approaches the director from every conceivable angle from the scholarly to the personal, and also includes fond tributes from fellow filmmakers, at last takes the measure of Angelopoulos’s artistic greatness and his immense, enduring significance.– Adrian Martin, Monash University
