Its long, fluid takes escort us through space and time, to universal themes and broader topicalities, effortlessly fending off charges of hermetic aestheticism.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
What had been a realistic work, lyric but realistic, slides into ostentatious symbolism.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

Angelopoulos' meditation on the meaning of one man's life is genuinely hypnotic in its way of transcending ordinary narrative.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Angelopoulos has created another masterpiece, one that recalls such classics as Bergman's Wild Strawberries and Kurosawa's Ikiru.
