Ulysses' Gaze
Directed by Theo Angelopoulos
Produced by Paradis Films, La Générale d'Images
A brooding, intellectually demanding meditation on exile, artistic obsession, and the ghosts of history, set against the Balkan conflict.
An exiled filmmaker finally returns to his home country where former mysteries and afflictions of his early life come back to haunt him once more.
