This groundbreaking collection offers the first critical assessment of Theo Angelopoulos, a leading figure in modernist European art cinema. It examines his complete works, with international experts analyzing his formal responses to the historical events that shaped the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book treats his films as representative of modernism, focusing on artistic innovation to document historical subjects. Rather than emblems of a past era or abstract style, Angelopoulos' films are presented as foreshadowing documents addressing contemporary political and economic complexities.
