demanding and full of meanings, with which he has
managed to visualize sensitive sides of Greek
history and of the human character with a unique
introspective sentiment. The films of Aggelopoulos
are a melancholic gaze in the history of Greece,
capturing the mourning of people over their lost
opportunities and dreams, the failure of the utopia,
the disharmony of human nature. Theodoros
Aggelopoulos is a director who did not stop on the
simple representation of history, but also attempted
to reflect on it in a poetic manner. In this respect he
has succeeded, charming generations of cinema
lovers with his films that brought him into the front
stage of international festivals, film tributes and
discussions. In this way, the films of Theodoros
Aggelopoulos have become an indelible part of the
Greek cinema heritage.
