He redefined the slow pan, the long take and tracking shots, of which he was a master.His stately, magisterial style and languidly unfolding narratives require some (ultimately rewarding) effort on the part of the spectator."The sequence shot offers, as far as I'm concerned, much more freedom," Angelopoulos explained. "By refusing to cut in the middle,I invite the spectator to better analyse the image I show him, and to focus,time and again, on the elements that he feels are the most significant in it."tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 t8 J& _9 Y1 J, E5 M3 b' C5 c

Angelopoulos was born in Athens,where he studied law. After military service, he went to Paristo attend the Sorbonne but soon dropped out to study at the IDHEC film school(now known as La Fémis). Back in Greece, he worked as a film critic for the leftist daily Allagi, which was closed down by the military junta that came to power in 1967. The seven-year regime of "the colonels" was seared into his consciousness and remained a subject –overtly or subliminally – throughout his oeuvre.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。) U+ u% n$ z.

Shot in spare, high-contrast black and white, it was about a Greek migrant worker who returns from Germany and is murdered by his wife and her lover. It was immediately clear that the director was less interested in the crime story than the ideological,individual and collective implications of the murder inquiry. & N8 p) ]+ I7 T! g7 T+ K& s. a.

Protesting his innocence, he holds a politician hostage in his cell, threatening to kill the man, and himself, unless he is released.The film subtly undermined the military regime in its portrayal of official incompetence. Given its physical confines, and the fact that the prisoner remains out of sight for much of the time, the high level of tension is a real achievement.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb- z0 t; Q, `# i3 l9 D2 E

In The Travelling Players, set in 1952, a troupe of actors recall Greek political history and their own personal histories since they last visited the country, in 1939. Nearly four hours long, the film consists of just 131shots, allowing the audience time to assess the situation rationally. The Hunters follows the eponymous group across a snowy mountainside in northern Greece as they come across the body of a Greek guerrilla fighter killed in 1949. At the subsequent inquest, each member of the group, as well as various peasants and workers, speaks of his experience of the civil war and the years that followed. Shot in pastel shades, the film slowly unravels the various strands in this inquisition of the right, using dream, memory and fantasy, and the powerful symbol of the corpse as the silent accuser. , w& D$ b2 [+ M/ ]9 r8 C( otvb now,tvbnow,bttvb !

He attempts to come to terms with his country and his wife and family, whom he hardly knows. The second, The Beekeeper (1986), was the first of Angelopoulos's films to use well-known actors, in this case Marcello Mastroianni as a morose,retired schoolteacher who sets off on a trip around the beehive sites of Greece,picking up an enigmatic young female hitchhiker on the way. + B+ m3 ?0 R8 v5 j% v9 k5 ktvb now,tvbnow,bttvb ! o& l3 p1 C: c2 T- M7 h) b5.39.217.76This compelling film could be called a metaphysical road movie, as could Landscape in the Mist (1988), the third in the sequence and the first of his films to feature children.

He is a film-maker, back from the US,seeking some lost reels of films made by two famous Greek film-makers during the silent era. The film won the grand jury prize at Cannes.Uncharacteristically, Angelopoulos expressed his disappointment that it did not win the Palme d'Or. He told a shocked and suddenly silent audience: "If this is what you have to give me, I have nothing to say," before walking off the stage without even posing for pictures.% y0 v: V: T4 c ^; S/ s

Cannes made amends three years later when Eternity and a Day (1998) won the festival's top prize. The film is a philosophical meditation about a dying writer, played by Bruno Ganz, and his thoughts on family, art and mortality. Angelopoulos executes the transition between present and past brilliantly, gliding easily between uncertain reality and nostalgia. 4 `& y7 L3 `& P8 u- a& B7 E1 D- D* I J, b3 u
The Weeping Meadow (2004) was the first of what Angelopoulos planned as a trilogy. The mytho-poetic dimension of the film – a magical fusion of colours,sounds, music and images which expresses the deepest feelings surrounding life and death – is linked, as usual, to a strong political and social context. The film spans 30 years of Greek history, from the exodus of the Greek colony in Odessa under the threat of the Red Army in 1919 to the end of the civil war in 1949. # Y, K0 b8 f( ~0 [. r+ k2 w9 s/ h+ z( m3 v- d4 r @+ `: ]
The Dust of Time (2008) covered the second part of the 20th century,venturing outside Greece for the first time. The Greek-German-Italian-Russian co-production, mainly in English, had all the makings of a Europudding, albeit one made by a master chef. Not all these fears were allayed. The Dust of Time is a fin-de-siècle drama, a cry of pain derived from the wounds inflicted during the previous century.5.39.217.76) h2 p& I# {8 }

Angelopoulos' second film, Days of 36, was set during Greece's tumultuous interwar period, when unstable governments alternated with military coups with alarming regularity. Days of 36 focuses on a politically sensitive hostage situation, which Angelopoulos uses to lay bare the state's fragmentation as Metaxa's fascist dictatorship loomed. 3 Q1 @) i- {% ^6 a- D+ k公仔箱論壇 9 v: J; w {, h2 m8 C5.39.217.76 1 l+ M& X1 Q9 E7 B" C# R[attach]1575846[/attach]公仔箱論壇0 a8 o* v7 w3 X' [( `
