IN THE

THEO AGELOPOULOS-

ULYSSES' GAZE –1995

TO VLEMA TOU ODYSSEA

THEODOROS AGELOPOULOS

WITH ENGLISH AND FRENCH SUBTITLES 

A man (Harvey Keitel) travels across the Balkans of the '90s, the Balkans of discord, fanaticism and war. It is a journey echoing the myth of Ulysses (Odysseus), a quest leading the hero from Greece to Albania, from Bulgaria to Rumania up to Constanza on the Black Sea, and from the Danube to the former Yugoslavia: Belgrade, Vukovar, Mostar, Serajevo. The pretext, or deeper motive of this journey is the search for a short film that has remained undeveloped since the beginning of the century. It is perhaps the very first film made by the Manakis brothers, the pioneers of the Balkan cinema. ? quest for the pristine gaze of lost innocence.

The refugee's resigned sentiment, “We've crossed the border and we're still here. How many borders must we cross to reach home?", carries through to the makeshift, outdoor cinema in Angelopoulos' next film, Ulysses' Gaze, as A arrives for an unauthorized screening of his film. Like the adrift Spyros in The Beekeeper, A's devastating emotional odyssey through his ancestral homeland is also a personal journey to reconnect with his cultural past, striving to recapture the purity of human vision that has been tainted by romantic loss, artistic controversy, familial estrangement, ideological disillusionment, and the ravages of war.

Following the epic scope of Ulysses' Gaze, Angelopoulos then created what is perhaps his most intimate and introspective work to date, Eternity and a Day (1998), the story of a terminally ill writer and poet named Alexander (Bruno Ganz) who settles his personal affairs and bids farewell to family and friends, having decided to admit himself into the hospital on the following day where he will spend his remaining days awaiting death. Alternately struggling to reconcile with his emotional abandonment of his late wife Anna (Isabelle Renauld) and aiding the plight of a young Albanian orphan (Achileas Skevis) living on the streets, Alexander finds a greater, redemptive purpose through the literal exchange of words—poetry and communication—and is able to transcend the corporeal bounds of his unfinished existence.
