Director:  Takis Kanellopoulos
Cast: Lili Papayianni, Angelos Antonopoulos, Kostas Karagiorgis, Kostas Lachas
Greece, 1966, HDD, 86’, b&w
Greek with Turkish and English subtitles   

Kanellopoulos takes lyricism to its most extreme form. His characters are dominated by an absolute, mysterious and romantic passion that so overcomes them that they seem to stand still and act as if hypnotized, simply following the course of their fate. A woman loves her officer husband but her desire for their mutual friend is irresistible. She will follow him, deserter though he is, into the unknown.

Love-Death: the axis is straight; it is a “royal”path that unites them. A ritual and a hymn to the sadness and splendour of feelings.

Moscow Conceptualists

Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
