Theo Angelopoulos has died. A great loss to World Cinema

See the posting on corfublues.blogspot.com


The Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos has died following an accident. He was hit by a motorcyclist.See an older posting on AngelopoulosIt was only a few weeks ago that I was watching his great film "The Weeping Meadow".I have followed his work since his first feature, "Reconstruction", but I haven't always enjoyed his films. I remember walking out of the overlong "Megalexandros", in spite of the superb compositions and cinematography, and his perspectives on modern Greek history. Viewers are not always in the right mood for the slow pace of his films.A tragic end to a unique cinematic talent.
