Abstract

It has been hundred ten years since Lumiere brothers delighted the audiences with their cinematograph in the late nineteenth century. Today in film industry, Theo Angelopoulos regarded as a director, who captures history, society, custom and people into creating a spectacles film.His interests vary from actual events of people, ethnicities, immigrants, boundaries, family ties to alienations of human beings, which are structured into one spectacle film. Also he finds sources for film making from a Greek myth, epic and tragedy and overlaps the past with the present need we feel for human community. Although his directing style is regarded as realism, at the same time his humor and pathos used in his films fascinate audiences. He shoots sources of all the raw material as they are and still his cinematographic style is no mach. His emphasis on techniques that using one shoot in a single take, 360 degree pan and off scene helps construct a scene such as "simultaneous shooting of pastime and presence" and "coexistence of reality and fantasy" in a screen. Moreover, traditional Greek theatrical act and dance combined with sentimental music provide a film nostalgic image. This paper explores the film works of director Angelopulous from "Reconstruction" to "A trip of ELENI" and attempts to search hints for our picture making.
