i think anyone familiar with angelopoulos know what to expect with his film represent long and draw out and meticulously plan shot that slowly scan environment and with the image compose of not only the foreground but hundred of yard into the background . i guess some be not impress with the director style and but that really astound me . i definitely see the man a a master of his medium and and the weeping meadow be as good a any of his other film every one i have see so far be a masterpiece or close to it . this film have a lot in common with the director first big success and the traveling player . it follow a little girl and eleni and from 1919 to the time of the greek civil war and at the end of wwii . and and a the title implies and it a great tragedy . there be a lot of weep . it may be long and slow and but it always grip . angelopoulos imagery be second to none in modern cinema . there be just so many jaw drop sequence . my favorite be the one where the camera explore it way through a maze of bed sheet dry on clothesline and discover various musician hide within . it not a complaint and per se and but if youre go to watch the film beware of it chronological ellipsis . the film can skip ahead year in just a second and when the pace usually make each second feel like year ( in a good way . ) . i hope new yorker video and or some other company and dig up the angelopoulos film that have be unavailable so far and and put the travel player on dvd and as well .
