Movie: WEEPING MEADOW, THE DVD

With The Weeping Meadow, one of filmmakings greatest remaining masters embarks on his crowning achievement: a projected trilogy whose goal is nothing less than a poetic summing up of the century that just ended. This first panel, spanning 1919-1949, begins with a transgression of mythic proportions: the foundling Eleni falls in love with her adoptive brother Alexis and, after marrying his widowed father, flees with her lover to the nearby port of Thessaloniki. As the unrest of the 1930s pits fascism against leftism, Alexis, a talented musician, departs for America and leaves Eleni behind to bear the brunt of Greek history: war, political repression, civil war.
