SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: Alexander the Great
DESCRIPTION:Alexander the Great (O Megalexandros) Greece\, 1980 \nTheo Angelopoulos insisted that Alexander the Great was his “most simple film” to date for its linear structure\, beginning on New Year’s Eve 1900 and proceeding from there. The film’s straightforward chronology\, however\, belies the complex interplay of Greek Orthodox and Byzantine liturgy\, music\, and ritual that Angelopoulos weaves into this newly urgent politically-charged fable of a would-be liberator who devolves into despotism. A bandit leader\, Megalexandros\, sparks an international incident when he kidnaps a group of English tourists but when he and his men return to their village to hold up\, they find the revolution may have already passed them by. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek and English with English subtitles\, 199 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Petros Markaris. With: Omero Antonutti\, Eva Kotamanidou\, Mihalis Giannatos. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Hunters
DESCRIPTION:The Hunters (I Kynighi) Greece\, 1977 \nWhen a hunting party finds the body of a communist partisan perfectly preserved in the snow\, they carry it back to their lakeside lodge to open a formal inquest. Representatives of the  conservative elite—politicians\, military officers\, businessmen\, media figures—who have gathered to celebrate New Year’s Eve 1977\, they are suddenly confronted by the horrors that put them in power. Theo Angelopoulos once compared The Hunters to Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry and while an absurdist streak runs through the film it’s also one of the most pointed and damning political critiques of his career. \n35mm\, color\, in Greek with English subtitles\, 168 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Stratis Karras. With: Vangelis Kazan\, Eva Kotamanidou\, Giorgos Danis. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Angelopoulos Retrospective: The Weeping Meadow
DESCRIPTION:The Weeping Meadow (To Livadi pou Dakryzei) Greece\, 2004 \nA family history told in wide shot\, The Weeping Meadow spans the turbulent decades between 1919 and the end of the Greek Civil War in 1949 as they buffet the lives of Eleni (Alexandra Aidini) and her adoptive brother and lover Alexis (Nikos Poursanidis). Taken in by Alexis’ family\, Eleni and Alexis fall in love and flee his oppressive father with the help of itinerant musicians touring the country as it descends into war and chaos. Intended as the first installment in a trilogy of Greek history and with its clear echoes of The Traveling Players (1975)\, The Weeping Meadow feels like a summing up by a director who thought of his films as chapters in one continuous story. \n35mm\, color\, 163 min. Director: Theo Angelopoulos. Screenwriters: Theo Angelopoulos\, Tonino Guerra\, Petros Markaris\, Giorgio Silvagni. With: Alexandra Aidini\, Nikos Poursanidis\, Giorgos Armenis. \nFor tickets (free of charge)\, click here. \nThis film is presented by The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture with support from the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies and with the community partnership of the LAGFF. The retrospective is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles.
