8 / 10 Accessible Angelopoulous -- what a surprise! May well be his best film. Succeeds in condensing most of the better elements of his work while avoiding most of the worse.
My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 A ponderous film in which the protagonist, Alexander, a man who knows he is dying and has very little time left, tries to find some meaning in the recollected fragments of his life, whilst spending his last day out of hospital with a young boy, an Albanian immigrant who has been driven from his own home, and whom Alexander rescues first from the police and then from what seems to be a criminal gang which sells street children to desparate childless couples. When the young boy's friend Selim is found dead, the street kids have a sort of funeral where they burn his belongings, in a rather haunting and lovely scene. I feel this movie has hidden depths, and will repay more than one viewing.
