Introducing
A poetic exploration of the city of Athens, based on paintings, poems, and philosophical texts. Angelopoulos claims to be influenced in his cinematic writing by the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, George Seferis, T. S. Eliot, and even James Joyce, his favorite writer. He describes his style as an “aesthetic of the unsaid,” characterized by a need to reconstruct individual and collective memory by combining historical reality, dreamlike elements, allegory, and everyday life.
Synopsis
Athens, Return to the Acropolis is a Greek film directed by Theo Angelopoulos, released in 1983. Athens, Return to the Acropolis is a medium-length film intended to form part of a series of television documentaries on European cultural capitals.
