I'm old, European and a lover of the silver screen. I have seen countless Hollywood and European art movies, and I am genuinely a fan of anything on film. However, the time comes when I get disgusted and flabbergasted by the pedestrian approach of a movie that tries to pretend it is an artistic take on human stupidity and arrogance. Well, this movie is not of that kind. Has nothing new, nothing artistic, nothing intellectual, nothing fresh to offer the viewer. I'm sorry to say that the movie is a reflection of the current European decadence with all types of political problems she has today and its citizens that are always on the take without realizing they are killing the continent with open borders and uber-regulation. Anyway, this movie does not deserve a Plam d'Or, but rather a Palm de Moule! Great actors, horrible script, horrible movie, no art ... plain and simple.
I have watched thousands of movies and TV series episodes from sci-fi to tearjerkers and I have seen some good, some bad and some ugly. This one is in the latter category of ugly and super irritating like listening to long nails scratching a black board. The script is pathetic and Dern, although a great actress, makes wanting to tap her naivety and serf centered character. I mean, if she were a character in the Sopranos, she would have been resting in the concrete foundation of e New Jersey high rise ... man, what a pathetic obnoxious being. The rest of the characters do a good job portraying what they are supposed to be and the filming is at least at par. This is supposed to be a 'highly recommended" show? What a waste of my time especially watching it after binging an excellent show called VEEP that really is worth watching ...
Almost 40 years later, this movie is like a brilliant and complex wine that becomes better as it matures.
This is the story of love, longing, memories, delusions, heartaches and the human soul. The story of separation, parallel lives, crossings of timelines and two stories happening simultaneously within each other ... quantum life at its best.
The cast is superb, the setting classic Angelopoulos ... dark, run down, cold, heartbreaking and magical. The script is deep and painful. The music of Karaindrou is a masterpiece that makes your soul cry.
This is Angelopoulos and Greek/global cinema at their best. A masterpiece that must be taught in film studies.
