Synopsis
A group of journalists wander around Athens asking passersby for their definition of the «ideal man». Based on the information acquired and the identikit they come up with, they conduct a search for someone to fill the bill, a specimen who has all these characteristics. They find such a person, inform him that he has won a prize, that he has been selected as the «ideal man» and that he is to appear in a show built around him. He will also supposedly meet a glamorous movie star. The journalists hand him a piece of paper which he has to read and which relates his impressions of his meeting with the glamorous movie star which of course never takes place. —Theoangelopoulos.com
Director
Theodoros Angelopoulos
Theo Angelopoulos began to study law in Athens but broke up his studies to go to the Sorbonne in Paris in order to study literature. When he had finished his studies, he wanted to attend the School of Cinema at Paris but decided instead to go back to Greece. There he worked as a journalist and critic for the newspaper “Demokratiki Allaghi” until it was banned by the military after a coup d’état. Now unemployed, he decided to make his first movie, Anaparastasi (1970). Internationally successful was his trilogy about the history of Greece from 1930 to 1970 consisting of Meres tou ’36 (1972), O thiasos (1975), and Oi kynigoi (1977). After the end of the dictatorship in Greece, Angelopoulos went to Italy, where he worked with RAI (and more money). His movies then became less political. —IMDb
