About
A screening of the film "Ulysses' Gaze". Theo Angelopoulos directs Harvey Keitel as a Greek American filmmaker known simply as "A", who returns to Hellas after decades away to find three undeveloped reels shot at the turn of the century by the Manaki Brothers, pioneers of Macedonian cinema. His quest for his own personal "Ithaca" becomes an odyssey through the Balkans after the fall of communism. The film is a meditation on war, imperial decline, and art's capacity to render grief and loss into finer materials.

Critics
7.0Good
Critics praise the film as a powerful, devastating meditation on war and loss, with a haunting style and a committed lead performance. They fault its slow, three-hour pacing, which demands patience and leaves viewers drained.
