The Films of Theo Angelopoulos by Andrew Horton
Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos is one of the most influential and widely respected filmmakers in the world, yet his films are still largely unknown to the American public. This title provides a contextual study that attempts to demonstrate the quintessentially Greek nature of the director's work.
"Andrew Horton anatomizes a unique aesthetic sensibility, investigating the power of these images with his own impressive powers of observation and learning"--Jack Granath, Rain Taxi "[A] thorough study of Angelopoulos... This is the first book on Angelopoulos in English... Horton comments knowledgeably on the many directors who have influenced Angelopoulos...and on the artistic influences of the Greek Orthodox church and Byzantine and classical Greek culture."--Choice "This [book] ... could not have come at a better time or from a more qualified critic... Andrew Horton opens the door to a complex body of work and will do much to correct the notion that Angelopoulos is simply an eccentric individualist or a director overly infatuated with technique."--Dan Georgakas, Film Quarterly
