| Summary: | Theo Angelopoulos’ work is crossed both by the emigration movements of exiled Greeks and by the immigration movements of exiles in Greece. The incorporation of this double dynamic nourishes a representation of his era, characterized by this political, social and economic reality, but above all marked by a state of internal exile irrigating a fin-de-siecle melancholy. The crisis of loss of the self affects both individual and collective identities. The border and migration movements are mobilized by the poetics of films as rhythmic processes responding to this crisis through the search for a new humanism. The border constitutes an unstable line which exists only to be crossed and thus allow a constantly renewed dialectical activity. It thereby reorganize the conflict between the self and the otherness (of the world or of another self), in this movement of becoming which is that of perpetual exile. |
