Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Combining contemporary settings with countless allusions to ancient history and mythology, this is the concluding part of the "trilogy of silence" that began with Voyage to Cythera (1984) and The Bee Keeper (1986). Convinced that their father resides in Germany, Greek kids Tania Palaiologou and Michalis Zeke set out to find him on an odyssey that is littered with symbolic incidents and totemic characters. Despite Giorgos Arvanitis's moody photography, it's a gruelling experience, with only circus performer Stratos Tzortzoglou sympathising with their plight. But while the human story is relentlessly bleak, Theo Angelopoulos succeeds in depicting a nation obsessed with its past.
