Eternity and a Day

Bruno Ganz d/ Theo Angelopoulos

Another gem by the Greek who may be the greatest living director in the world. This was a meditation on the end of the life of a writer as he looks back on life's events/characters all the while dealing with the present. He befriends a young boy...an illegal alien...and uses him as a springboard for memories and reflections.

Filled with his trademark visual poetry and the carefully orchestrated tableaux that define his films.

The film featured regrets and sorrows but also hope and belief in the future. How long does tomorrow last? An eternity and a day...
