The cinema of Theo Angelopoulos is celebrated as challenging the status quo. From the political films of the 1970s through to the more existential works of his later career, Vrasidis Karalis argues for a nuanced philosophy underpinning Angelopoulos' work. He explores the rich visual language and ?ocular poetics' of Angelopopulos' oeuvre and his mastery of communicating profundity through the everyday. In Theo Angelopoulos: Filmmaker and Philosopher Karalis provides a reading of Angelopoulos' work that embraces contradiction and celebrates the unsettling questions at the heart of his films.
