The second part of the Trilogy of History is not only the most emblematic film in Angelopoulos’ filmography, but also one of the greatest achievements in the history of world cinema. A radical synthesis of history and myth and, above all, a profoundly stirring cinematic experience.
A traveling theatre troupe tours the Greek countryside from 1939 to the early 1950s, staging Golfo. As the years pass, its members endure persecution, betrayal, executions, and exile. Their personal stories become entangled with the country’s major historical events, in a seemingly endless cycle of violence and loss.
