看过 塞瑟岛之旅 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
My favorite Angelopoulos so far. A cinematic poem if there ever is one. The slow long takes along with a minimalistic music score compel you to focus on every location, be it their old family house, the bleak landscape, or that diner near the end.

Aside from being simply visually stunning cinematography, this stylistic choice spotlights the way this film is ultimately about the relation between people and the land on which they dwell, and how that tenuous thread comes undone in the face of physical exile over time and space, as well as psychological exile by the specter of neoliberalism. For a disillusioned leftist such as Spyros, statelessness is a legal status as much as it is a perpetual state of mind, an in-between mode of existence forever yearning for that which can never be reached in his finitude. And how beautifully is it encapsulated in that last scene, just wow.

Anyway, this touches me deeply. My words can't do justice to this.
