The Cinematic Language of Theo Angelopoulos (Berghahn Press, 2021) is the first attempt since 1998 to offer a general account in English of Angelopoulos’ evolution as a world-class director. The book first examines Angelopoulos’ life from his birth in 1936 to his death in 2012. It then discusses each of his films, from Reconstitution, followed by Travelling Players, to works such as Odysseus' Gaze and Eternity and a Day. It analyses Angelopoulos' cinematic language, examining what makes him a unique model of cinematic technique. Finally, it discusses the importance of his films for Greek culture, which has suffered so much from a decade of crisis.
