Theo Angelopoulos’ VOYAGE TO CYTHERA

Saturday, April 27

(1984) “A filmmaker, Alexandros (Giulio Brogi), auditions a succession of old men who speak the line, ‘It's me, it's me.’ Tiring of the task, he goes to a café and sees his perfect actor, a lavender-seller. Alexandros follows the man to Piraeus where, it transpires, the filmmaker is to meet his father, a resistance fighter (Manos Katrakis) returning to Greece after 32 years in the USSR. The father descends from a huge anonymous vessel to an empty quay. ‘It's me,’ he says. Not knowing what to do, Alexandros reaches to take the old man's violin case. ‘Aren't you going to kiss me?’ his father asks. Angelopoulos once again plays a variation on the theme of what it means to be a modern Greek artist living in the shadow of the civil war… Suffused with that peculiar melancholy which Angelopoulos has made entirely his own.” – John Pym, Time Out (London) . 35mm print courtesy Harvard Film Archive. Approx. 122 min.

Part of Theo Angelopoulos’ Trilogy of Silence .

“The beauty of the film has seldom been equaled, and the balance of liquid movement and rocklike human interpretation is both tragic and exhilarating.” – David Thomson, A New Biographical Dictionary of Film

“The film-within-a-film narrative of Voyage to Cythera provides a structural metaphor for a displaced father (who, like Angelopoulos’ long-absent father, is also named Spyros) attempting to rebuild his former life and reconnect with his family, only to find that in the wake of devastating wars, abandoned villages, and commercial development, the idea of home has become a myth.” – Acquarello, Senses of Cinema

“Dispirited by the depoliticisation of Greek society — what he called ‘the silence of history’ — Theo Angelopoulos sets out to contrast the truths inherent in myth and reality in this complex, but always fascinating drama.” – David Parkinson, RadioTimes.com

Theo Angelopoulos’ LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST

Monday, April 29 8:30

Voyage to Cythera, 1984

A pensive, middle-aged filmmaker named Alexander (Giulio Brogi, but whose voice was dubbed in Greek by Theo Angelopoulos) on a shooting break from the filming of a semi-autobiographical feature that explores the plight of returning political refugees during the general amnesty of the 1970s, encounters a gaunt, yet ennobled old man selling lavender at a kafeneon (a village cafeteria and lounge). Captivated by the humble vendor who perhaps bears a resemblance to his own absent father, Alexander follows the old man into the mist. Does Alexander, the abandoned son, believe this man to be his father, or does he, the director, envision this frail elder to be the ideal embodiment of the aging partisan (a part that he has been unable to cast) for his film? Reality becomes obscured in the metaphor of the enveloping fog. Soon, the old man, Spyros (Manos Katrakis) emerges from the harbor carrying his meager possessions – a suitcase and a violin – having returned home on a temporary visa after a 32-year exile in Uzbekistan. Politely but disaffectedly acknowledged by his adult children Alexander and Voula (Mary Chronopoulou), he is accompanied to see their mother, Katerina (Dora Volanaki), a nurturing woman who greets him with the simple yet poignant words, “Have you eaten?”. Nevertheless, despite Katerina’s tempered welcome, Spyros’ homecoming invariably proves to be overwhelming as well-intentioned relatives, now virtual strangers, amass at the house for the eagerly awaited reunion. In an attempt to help him readjust to his ‘new’ life, the family decides to travel to their neglected, rural home in a near-deserted village in order to reconnect Spyros with familiar images from his past. Communicating through a series of coded, bird call-like whistles, Spyros reunites with an old family friend named Panayiotis (Giorgos Nezos) at a graveyard populated by fallen contemporaries. It is a bittersweet reconciliation between two aging neighbors – once divided by the devastating civil war – that momentarily brings a sense of closure to the melancholic and emotionally burdened Spyros. However, when Spyros discovers that the village is in the process of being acquired by commercial developers for a proposed resort, his refusal to participate in the sale of the land reopens the town’s unhealed wounds towards the defiant and unapologetic rebel.

The first film of Theo Angelopoulos’ self-described Trilogy of Silence (that also includes The Beekeeper and Landscape in the Mist ), Voyage to Cythera is a sublimely poetic, elegiac, and profoundly moving portrait of disconnection, aging, and obsolescence. Using a film-within-a-film structure, Angelopoulos interweaves personal observation and historical account into a compelling testament on the tragic legacy of the Greek civil war. Through Angelopoulos’ alter-ego, Alexander’s dual role as film director and Spyros’ son (who, in an oblique sense, may not be ‘acting’ in a fictionalized film), Angelopoulos correlates the abandonment, decay, and ruin of the Greek village witnessed by Spyros and his family with the subsequent apathy, callousness, and moral erosion of contemporary society encountered by Alexander as he attempts to find humanity and compassion for the uncertain plight of his disenfranchised and literally adrift father. Angelopoulos further illustrates the underlying hypocrisy of Spyros’ persecution as a forcibly uprooted and marginalized national (who is essentially stripped of his citizenship and reduced to refugee status in his own country) struggling to retain the spirit of a dying culture, even as the community is eager to collective sell its ancestral homeland – its figurative national soul – and move away. Caught in an absurd, existential limbo of bureaucracy and emotional desolation, Spyros’ interminable journey home, like the mythical voyage to Cythera, becomes one of human faith, connection, perseverance, and dignity.

Review by reibureibu ★★★★½ 16

When someone learns of a past transgression, it doesn't matter how long ago it happened. What are old scars to others are fresh wounds to them, and time reverts itself in revisiting this pain.

During the Greek Civil War, Spyros was exiled to Uzbekistan for being a communist. Over thirty years later he returns to his homeland and finds it both changed yet still the same as it ever was, a country that officially welcomes those of communist ideology yet unofficially rebuffs them at every opportunity; the central conflict revolving around a plot of land that he, despite the choices of everyone else in his family, refuses to sell to make way for a ski resort. "This is my land!" …

Edgar Cochran ✝️

Review by Edgar Cochran ✝️ ★★★★½ 10

Nearly unmatched impressionistic poetry. Both the foreground and the background add an infinite visual and thematic depth signaling the Greek auteur's transition from a nation's history to individual history. Foreign elements still pervade both individual and collective psychology and the emotional clashes are embellished with an astonishing lyricism. The central character embraces the incapacity to cope with change as swaying waves of disillusionment and melancholy waterboard the surrounding family member's feelings and the power of authorities over land possession, citizenship and geographical borders are criticized to an extent of alienation that is contrasted with the fates of the people in the haunting final shot. The unequalled poet strikes again.

It managed to surpass Wender's rendition of 1984.

How is silence reflected in this first trilogy entry?

"I often discover, with horror and relief, that I no longer believe in anything. At such times, I return to my body. It's the only thing that reminds me I'm alive."

Sudhakar Kumar

Review by Sudhakar Kumar ★★★★½

It profoundly addresses the question of the absence of nationality, or even the lack of a homeland in which one can completely identify. It is interesting to note how the collective imagination and the very idea of a nation are gradually being transformed from lead character Spyros perspective, generating a new idea about identity and belonging.

Puffin

Review by Puffin ★★★★★ 3

The chilling atmosphere signals the end, and the beginning, of something incredibly important. While the situation itself is a bit hazy, the events that transpire are all easy to follow, and are paced and shot brilliantly. Not often does a film feel so conclusive that you feel it consistently throughout, but the shadowy indoor shots, the cloudy outdoor shots, the desperate, bitter, and/or tired characters, it signals something bigger than something really meant to be understood fully. Yes, I do not completely understand the context that creates this situation, but what matters is how the world and its characters react to it.

I insulted Bergman a few times in my review for Hour of the Wolf, and that thought came…

Lise and Jonnie’s March Around the World 2020

Film #4 - Greece

One of my favourite things about 30 Countries is that it forces me to watch an Angelopoulos. Also, keeping the watches to March Around the World means I can look forward to seeing him again, and stretching out his limited ouvre as long as possible. I chose Voyage to Cythera based, admittedly, on length, as this is Spring Forward daylight savings time day, and we’re a bit tuckered and out of sync, but also it’s the first member of his Trilogy of Silence, and we’ve already seen the last member, Landscapes in the Mist. I was considering the similarly lengthed The Beekeeper, but, the subject matter gave me…

Alexander Walker

Review by Alexander Walker ★★★★★ 1

How do you cope when almost everything you've known has vanished? When friends have died, homes have been torn down and beliefs have slowly dissolved in time. ' You've got to hang on to something' but what? It's a question faced by Spyros, an elderly man returning to a Greek village after decades in exile. He's someone who rejected his friends, family and idyllic lifestyle to live in the mountains and fight in a bloody civil war. Someone with ' no nationality, no ethnicity, no citizenship.' After thirty two years so much has eroded, yet no one seems to have forgotten or forgiven Spyros' betrayal, leaving indelible scars on the people he left behind, especially his heartbroken wife Katerina. Symbolically…

Hutch

Review by Hutch ★★★★½ 1

Voyage to Cythera deals with the generational displacement and enduring suffering in the long aftermath of the Greek Civil War. It starts beautifully, though cryptically, before gradually coming into focus with the return of Spyros, an old Civil War fighter, who’s been exiled in Russia for the past 32 years. His reunion with his family is heavy with grief and the irreconcilabilities of time. What’s more, Spyros cannot come to terms with what has become of his country, which has left him behind while he’s been away. 

Theo Angelopoulos films with his characteristic long takes and muted, wintry colours, which work to drain the emotion from his characters’ faces. Spyros, along with his family and his old friends, seem permanently…

Kristian

Review by Kristian ★★★★ 3

In Voyage to Cythera , The first film in Angelopoulos’ trilogy of silence, Theo delivers another beautifully melancholic poem defined by very moving imagery and sound, yet again highlighting the director’s strength at using audio visual techniques to craft an artistic masterpiece like few can. Mixing history, mythology and philosophy to create a bittersweet yet ultimately moving film.

Contrary to what the title suggests, it is not much of a voyage to Cythera, the birthplace of Venus, the island of love, as it is a voyage to alienation. Voyage to Cythera , much like The Beekeeper, is a film about the lack of acceptance for the present, the inability to grasp it, one that renders the main character as a…

Collabin' with the lovely  Irene  again!!! The Angelopoulos journey knows no end! Check out  her review  as well! ________________________

Home is a place, a person, a thing, depending on what has influenced us in our youth. When we are young we have energy and apply that energy to emoting through the world around us because logic is harder to come by. As we age, we are hardened with logic, seeing things anew. Most of the time we are floating on calm waters in a deep fog, embracing the person closest to us. Sometimes we are distant and yearn. But both states require us to gaze into abstraction, upending nostalgia or something we once had and have now forgotten.

They'd Sell The Sky, If They Could"

the ending of this film made me sad, anxious, shocked, and scared I hope that old couple is okay in the middle of the sea :'(

Btw I am so impressed with the scoring in Theo Angelopous films, like in this one, at the beginning of the film, the scoring is very beautiful

Dimitris Stathakios

Review by Dimitris Stathakios ★★★★★ 1

Theodoros Angelopoulos is one of the greatest directors to have ever lived. He is a true poet of cinema. Voyage to Cythera is one of the most affecting and touching films I have ever seen. Visually stunning and poetic like all the other films by the Greek master, this one is a special film. It is authentic in every way. The cinematography is awe inspiring and the music is fantastic. The performances are all great but Manos Katrakis stands out. Manos was a complete human being and one of the greatest of all Greek actors. His presence is utterly gripping. This is truly one of the greatest performances put to film. The film is meditative, truthful and above all an rewarding experience. Watching an Angelopoulos film is the most complete experience I can imagine. His cinema possesses unmatched artistic value. Voyage to Cythera is one of the greatest films I have ever seen and an instant favourite.

More by this poet

Take it easy, Sadness. Settle down. You asked for evening. Now, it’s come. It’s here. A choking fog has blanketed the town, infecting some with calm, the rest with fear. While the squalid throng of mortals feels the sting of heartless pleasure swinging its barbed knout and finds remorse in slavish partying, take my hand, Sorrow. I will lead you out, away from them. Look as the dead years lurch, in tattered clothes, from heaven’s balconies. From the depths, regret emerges with a grin.

Posthumous Remorse

When you go to sleep, my gloomy beauty, below a black marble monument, when from alcove and manor you are reduced to damp vault and hollow grave;

     when the stone—pressing on your timorous chest and sides already lulled by a charmed indifference—halts your heart from beating, from willing, your feet from their bold adventuring,

     then the tomb, confidant to my infinite dream (since the tomb understands the poet always), through those long nights in which slumber is banished,

Invitation to the Voyage

Child, Sister, think how sweet to go out there and live together! To love at leisure, love and die in that land that resembles you! For me, damp suns in disturbed skies share mysterious charms with your treacherous eyes as they shine through tears.

     There, there’s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous.
