'''Theodoros''' "'''Theo'''" '''Angelopoulos''' ({{Langx|el|Θεόδωρος Αγγελόπουλος}}; (27 April 1935 – 24 January 2012) was a Greek filmmaker, screenwriter and film producer. He dominated the Greek art film industry from 1975 on,{{Sfn|Merry|2004|p=145}} and Angelopoulos was one of the most influential and widely respected filmmakers in the world.{{Sfn|Horton|1999|loc=preface}}{{sfn|Malcolm|2000}}{{sfn|Thomson|2002|pp=21–22}} He started making films in 1967. In the 1970s he made a series of political films about modern Greece.

Angelopoulos' films, described by [[Martin Scorsese]] as that of "a masterful filmmaker", are characterized by the slightest movement, slightest change in distance, [[long take]]s, and complex, carefully composed scenes. His cinematic method is often described as "sweeping" and "hypnotic."{{Sfn|Horton|1999|loc=preface}}{{Sfn|Horton|1999|loc=back cover}}  Angelopoulos has said that in his shots, “time becomes space and space becomes time.” The pauses between action or music are important to creating the total effect.{{Sfn|Fainaru|2001|loc=p.87}}

In 1998 his film ''[[Eternity and a Day]]'' went on to win the [[Palme d'Or]] at the [[1998 Cannes Film Festival|51st edition]] of the [[Cannes Film Festival]], and his films have been shown at many of the world's esteemed [[film festival]]s.<ref name="IMDb-TA-a" />

==Biography==
Theodoros Angelopoulos was born in Athens on 27 April 1935. His father Spyros hailed from the town of Ampeliona, [[Messenia]] in the [[Peloponnese]].{{sfn|Horton|1999|p=18}} During the [[Greek Civil War]], his father was taken hostage and returned when Angelopoulos was 9 years old; according to the director, the absence of his father and looking for him among the dead bodies (during the "[[Dekemvriana]]" in Athens) had a great impact on his cinematography.<ref>"Theodoros Angelopoulos", editions Kastanioti, p. 189.</ref>{{sfn|Horton|1999|p=18}} He studied law at the [[National and Kapodistrian University of Athens]], but after his military service went to Paris to attend the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]]. He soon dropped out to study film at the [[Institut des hautes études cinématographiques]] (IDHEC) before returning to Greece. There, he worked as a journalist and film critic. Angelopoulos began making films after the 1967 coup that began the [[Regime of the Colonels]]. He made his first short film in 1968 and in the 1970s he began making a series of political feature films about modern Greece: ''[[Days of '36]]'' (''Meres Tou 36'', 1972), ''[[The Travelling Players]]'' (''O Thiassos'', 1975) and ''[[The Hunters (1977 film)|The Hunters]]'' (''I Kynighoi'', 1977). In 1978, he was a member of the jury at the [[28th Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref name="berlinale">{{Cite web |url=http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1978/04_jury_1978/04_Jury_1978.html |title=Berlinale 1978: Juries |access-date=4 August 2010 |work=berlinale.de }}</ref>

{{Quote box
 | quote  = Theo Angelopoulos is a masterful filmmaker. He really understands how to control the frame. There are sequences in his work—the wedding scene in ''The Suspended Step of the Stork''; the rape scene in ''Landscape in the Mist''; or any given scene in ''The Traveling Players''—where the slightest movement, the slightest change in distance, sends reverberations through the film and through the viewer. The total effect is hypnotic, sweeping, and profoundly emotional. His sense of control is almost otherworldly.

He quickly established a characteristic style, marked by slow, episodic and ambiguous narrative structures as well as [[long take]]s (''The Travelling Players'', for example, consists of only 80 shots in about four hours of film). These takes often include meticulously choreographed and complicated scenes involving many actors.

His regular collaborators include the [[cinematographer]] [[Giorgos Arvanitis]], the screenwriter [[Tonino Guerra]] and the composer [[Eleni Karaindrou]]. One of the recurring themes of his work is immigration, the flight from homeland and the return, as well as the history of 20th century Greece. Angelopoulos was considered by British film critics [[Derek Malcolm]]{{sfn|Malcolm|2000}} and [[David Thomson (film critic)|David Thomson]]{{sfn|Thomson|2002|pp=21–22}} as one of the world's greatest directors.

While critics have speculated on how he developed his style, Angelopoulos made clear in one interview that "The only specific influences I acknowledge are [[Orson Welles]] for his use of plan-sequence and [[deep focus]], and [[Kenji Mizoguchi|Mizoguchi]], for his use of time and off-camera space."<ref>The Last Modernist, ed. Andrew Horton, 1997</ref> He had also cited [[Andrei Tarkovsky]]'s 1979 work ''[[Stalker (1979 film)|Stalker]]'' as an influence.<ref>{{cite book |first1=Andrew |last1=Horton |title=The Films of Theo Angelopoulos – A Cinema of Contemplation |date=29 September 2016 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-1400884421 |page=73 |chapter=3 – Angelopoulos, the Continuous Image and Cinema |quote=We should realize, however, that Angelopoulos is an unusual paradox in the history of cinema: he is very clearly "Greek" as I have demonstrated, and yet he is an international filmmaker who has been influenced by filmmakers from around the globe. He has observed: "I draw techniques from everything I've seen{{nbsp}}.... I continue to love{{nbsp}}... very much the films of Murnau, Mizoguchi, Antonioni.

== Death ==
Angelopoulos died late on Tuesday, 24 January 2012, several hours after being involved in a crash while shooting his latest film, ''The Other Sea'' in Athens.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kermeliotis |first=Teo |date=2012-01-25 |title=Famous Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos dies in road accident |url=https://www.cnn.com/2012/01/25/world/europe/greece-film-director-dies/index.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=CNN |language=en}}</ref> On that evening, the filmmaker had been with his crew in the area of [[Drapetsona]], near [[Piraeus]] when he was hit by a motorcycle, which unconfirmed reports suggested was ridden by an off-duty police officer. The crash occurred when Angelopoulos, 76, attempted to cross a busy road. He was taken to a hospital, where he was treated in an intensive care unit but succumbed to his serious injuries several hours later.<ref name="Death">{{cite news |date=25 January 2012|url=http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite1_23128_25/01/2012_423984 |title=Director Angelopoulos dies after accident while filming |newspaper=[[Kathimerini]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120126143153/http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite1_23128_25/01/2012_423984 |archive-date=26 January 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="guardian-2012-01-24">{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/jan/24/filmmaker-theo-angelopoulos-dies-accident |title=Culture – Film – Filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos dies in accident |date=24 January 2012 |work=[[The Guardian]] }}</ref> His funeral was a public expense, on 27 January at the [[First Cemetery of Athens]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Το τελευταίο «αντίο» στον σκηνοθέτη Θ.Αγγελόπουλο |url=http://news.in.gr/culture/article/?aid=1231147490 |website=in.gr | date=27 January 2012 |access-date=19 May 2023}}</ref>
