I wanted to be blown away and I wanted to love this. Unfortunately, it didn’t hit for me the way it did for others.
The movie was only okay. It would have been every scene kid’s favorite movie in 2005, though.

This is the second Theodoros Angelopoulos film I’ve watched in the last month, the first being Eternity and a Day (1998), and I am in absolute awe by Angelopoulos’ work already.
This film was particularly striking, its imagery complemented the story telling impeccably, especially when there was little dialogue for long stretches of time; It is as if Angelopoulos used each setting as its own character, adding depth to each scene. However, when Voula, Alexander and Orestis did speak, their lines were nothing short of poetry.
I really loved this film.
