Why put up with so much that seems insufferable? Because at the end of Eternity and a Day, Angelopoulos somehow translates a character from the world of dreams to the world of reality instantaneously, before your eyes.

It is a statement about the work of an artist, a collector of diverse elements then molded into a coherent, beautiful whole.

Overall, Angelopoulos' film gives the viewer a sense of the infinite ... even if its languid artiness occasionally lulls you to sleep.

A gorgeous elegy of a film.
10/30/01
Top CriticA deeply felt character study.
10/30/01
This is not a masterpiece, but it contains moments of rare beauty and its contemplation of life, death, regret, and memory has a subtle power.
10/30/01
Top CriticAngelopoulos' meditation on the meaning of one man's life is genuinely hypnotic in its way of transcending ordinary narrative.
10/30/01
Top CriticAngelopoulos has created another masterpiece, one that recalls such classics as Bergman's Wild Strawberries and Kurosawa's Ikiru.
10/30/01
Top CriticFor at least half of its length, it is quietly revelatory, luminous and invigorating, and for those reasons it makes essential viewing.
10/30/01
Consider giving this worthy anachronism a couple of hours of your time. If you can tune into its somber, hypnotic wavelength, you may be surprised at the raw emotional impact it delivers in key scenes, and at its ability to provoke your imagination.
