Writer: Theodoros Angelopoulos
Cast: Alexandra Aidini, Nikos Poursanidis
Language: Greek
The Weeping Meadow is the first film of Angelopoulos' planned trilogy on modern Greece. It spans 30 years from 1919 Bolshevik revolution till the Greek civil war in 1949. The story unfolds as a tragedy in the life of the female protagonist played by Alexandra Aidini.
It is shot beautifully with plenty of long shots and is along the lines of a Tarkovsky film. A second viewing is required to appreciate it fully. The director Angeloppoulos died tragically in a car accident in 2012.
Rating: 3.5/5
