"Travelling Players"
1975
Directed by Theo Angelopoulos

From the director of Eternity and a Day and Ulysses' Gaze, this monumental masterpiece is an incomparable blending of personal and political histories with lasting emotional impact. Just prior to the election of Papagos in 1952, Orestes, Electra and Chrysothemis, members of a Greek acting troupe, look back at the cycle of oppression, resistance and betrayal their lives and their country have endured since 1939. A film of rare ambition and truly remarkable execution. "A towering modern masterpiece" (Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times). Greek with English subtitles. 230 minutes.
