Theo, where have you been all my life? Truly one of the greats. Magical, meditative stuff. The bus sequence towards the end is stunning. Eternity and a Day didn't have the same emotional impact that Landscape in the Mist had on me, but it is equally as good, if not even slightly better.

I smell sea salt

I will not attempt to review this film after a first viewing. All I can do is jot down a few impressions I had while watching, which will not make sense to anyone, but will remind me of the film.

The film consists of a series of beautifully orchestrated and choreographed tableaux.

It sings to those who long for something, that deep longing like a force of nature that guides one without making itself known.

It speaks to those who wonder what it is they can do in the world, affect it somehow, leave a footprint.

Ever so gently it leads those whose obsession is to celebrate life with words, notes or colour to the more down-to-earth dance on the beach, the dinner by the water, the arms of a loved one.

Part of the Sunday Mornings with Coffee series.

C'est probablement pas la première que je le dis, mais, à première écoute, j'aurais tendance à dire que c'est l'un des plus beaux films que j'ai jamais.
On sent l'âme d'Angelopoulos dans chaque scènes, chaque plans, chaque instants. Que d'exprimer quelque chose d'aussi profond sans même avoir à nommer la chose est un vrai coup de maître.
L'un des films les plus poétique d'abords par ses dialogues, digne d'un grand poète, et ses images, digne d'un grand cinéaste.

Plus jamais je ne pourrai revoir ce film pour une première fois...

“What does the place where we'll all go look like?”

By the end this movie moved me deeply and I just wanna give Bruno Ganz a hug 😭😭
Why does no one ever talk about Theo Angelopoulos

I smell sea salt

How long will tomorrow last?

I could write a very long endless review but I think I'll keep it for myself this time. I just don't want to break the spell. This is one of those movies that I want to watch before passing this life and this reality.

I think I was in the right absolute mood while watching this masterpiece because It tore me apart and made me hysterically cry for a while.

It was beautiful to watch the meaninglessly passing time and the real value of it. The feeling of realization of that emptiness and the melancholic happiness of existing, is priceless.

Poetic

وش أبي أكثر من كذا؟

"Why Does one have to rot in silence torn between pain and desire?" A question you're going to ask yourself twice, thrice or the multiple times you watch this amazing expression.

Yes, expression, because this movie isn't something that could be seen or even heard, it's something you can only feel.

I can't stress it enough how amazing this was. If you say pure art, even that might be an understatement.

There come movies for entertainment, there come movies to shake you a little but this is a poetry that is going to shake your roots.

Don't go and read anything about this before watching it. Interpret it yourself and find peace in it, please.

Bruno Ganz, Achilleas Skevis, hats off.

Theo Angelopoulos, I don't have words. In the end, I'd just say
"The breath of the breeze hit so softly on my face and whispered to the petals of my heart "Life is sweet." and "Life is sweet". "

Do you know what a poet is?
