Director Theodoros Angelopoulos' worst film


Having seen all 13 of this master of cinema's feature films I was somewhat let down by finally finishing his filmography with his final film that is The Dust of Time. Typically with Angelopoulos the film is wonderfully shot but I found this film, especially in comparison to his other 12 features, to generally lack emotional punch and effectiveness. I simply found the film to be rather mild unfortunately.

It's always a joy witness the complex long-take camera work in this directors' films and this film certainly did not disappoint in that department at least, and it was a treat to have Willem Dafoe involved along with a return of Bruno Ganz in addition. However this is the only film from Theo that I can't really recommend as an overall piece to others. 6/10. Fair/Serviceable.
