you do not know if they also passed. I'm talking about the fourth coffee of the day, take a month to quit smoking (without really knowing why), it does not work, the printer stalls, the bus is late and it's raining out there. I'm talking about that close your eyes when you get home at midnight, or perhaps later, watching hours of sleep escape between your fingers, you have several outstanding mails and bed, of course, is full of distances. I do not know if you too are alive, if you put up the type, if sometimes blaspheme.
The first movie I saw was Theo Angelopoulos' Eternity and a day. " For nearly three years in a series on Greek Cinema who gave of Fine Arts. That struck me as a pain unbearable, I lost patience several times during the screening and that cigar, cigar later, was undoubtedly one of the best of my life.
My second contact with the films of Angelopoulos was while writing the script for a short film, "Diary of a movie buff, in which I dared to say:" Life is absurd as a comedy of the Marx, implacable as film Bergman, and slow as a film of Angelopoulos. " I think to some extent, I was right.
Now, in 2006, thanks to the reissue of some of his works on DVD (Intermediate ), I've Angelopoulos, discovering what your film very exciting. I found that, for now, I want no more assemblies MTV, no more post-modern cinema, popcorn and more tragedy. That is kept on Aeon Flux, its Geishas and future Da Vincis. I want to sit in front of the screen to go for fifteen minutes, fixed plane, the shadow of a boat on the Mediterranean. A moment of calm. This is my country, this is my root. Those are my dreams. Angelopoulos
invented the Mediterranean theater, cinema and aesthetic Homeric absolutely aesthetic, sometimes reminiscent of Tarkovsky's Nostalgia (his film more Mediterranean, on the other hand) and sometimes merely reinvents the notion of time. Angelopoulos is the Mediterranean Wim Wenders, one of the most unabashedly European directors, able to take the pulse of the continent and to assist with an enlightened vision, to cancers of the bourgeoisie in 2006. It is a film that I have maligned in recent years with all my strength against that of a sudden, I can only keep quiet and take off my hat. We must learn to make mistakes, and the problem that presents the film (art in general) is that the works remain unchanged. It is we who change. (This is a bit of Pero Grullo, but it must be said). Start today
-cycle tribute to Angelopoulos, perhaps because of a while now, its very slow and dense film is offering me new perspectives. A boat to an Odyssey computer in a world of shit. As I use to get this right now to you.
