(from The Travelling Players, one of my favorite films)
3 days ago Theo Angelopoulos, one of the most distinctive and greatest filmmakers of all-time, died in the middle of shooting what might've been his last film, The Other Sea. It seems like I was reading two current interviews (here and here) with the director one day and the next reading about his death. In his memory, everyone that has Instant Netflix should add the following films to their queue and watch them. I myself have some catching up to do with Angelopoulos, not having seen Ulysses' Gaze, Alexander the Great or even the Palme d'Or winner Eternity and a Day. I will come back with some comments after watching Eternity and a Day on Instant this weekend.
The three Angelopoulos films available on Instant:
Topio Stin Omichli aka Landscape in the Mist
(For some reason this film is not under its English translation but its original Greek name, making it almost impossible to find unless you search under the director)
