The Great Love Songs

Pantelis Voulgaris visualizes the iconic work of Manos Hadjidakis with a project that goes beyond the narrow boundaries of the documentary and reaches more the free performance - a free play of image and sound, on the unsurpassed compositions and lyrics of the great work.

Synopsis

Magnus Eroticus is a series of ten love songs by Manos Hadjidakis with lyrics by Sappho, Elytis, Myrtiotissa, Sarantaris, Cavafy and others. In the film, the cinematographic lens translates the emotion from the sonic erotic atmosphere of the music, making a visual journey through Athens. Alongside the journey through the city, we follow the process of recording the songs in the studio, where even the film crew itself becomes part of the developments.
