"Eternity and a Day"
1998
Directed by Theo Angelopoulos

From master filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos (Ulysses' Gaze, The Traveling Players) comes the 1998 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or winner. Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire) stars in this poetic, haunting and abundantly beautiful film, playing a dying man trying to make peace with his past. He finds a surprising source of hope when he encounters a young Albanian orphan. "A masterpiece that recalls such classics as Bergman's Wild Strawberries and Kurosawa's Ikiru" (Kevin Thomas, Newsday). Greek with English subtitles. 130 minutes.
