Landscape in the Mist
Director: Theo Angelopoulos
1988 / 127min / DCP
An adolescent girl and her younger brother leave their village in Greece behind to hitchhike and hop trains in hopes of picking up the scent of the absent father they’ve never met, having little to go on beyond a conviction that he may have emigrated to Germany, while a chance encounter with a young man called Orestis, touring with a troupe of traveling actors before his compulsory military service, offers a measure of comfort and companionship in a terribly inhospitable world. “It’s a movie wondrously wrought, heart-breakingly beautiful. It conveys, with stunning impact, part of the alienation of the whole postwar era: the death of the past, the steady erosion of optimism, the loss of the consolations of family, religion, tradition and political idealism.”—The Los Angeles Times
Distributor: Theo Angelopoulos Film Productions
