Synopsis
A Greek-American filmmaker returns to his home town in northern Greece for a screening of his latest controversial film. His real reason for coming back, however, is to track down three long-missing reels of film by Greece’s pioneering Manakis brothers.

Our take
Behold the epic cinema of Theo Angelopoulos! Harvey Keitel plays an avatar of the Greek auteur, an accomplished director in a late period of reminiscence and rumination, in this monumental film that uses the screen as a canvas to explore post-communist Europe and the importance of cinema itself.
