To meteoro vima tou pelargou
Our house is your house. Our house … We passed the borders and we are still here. But how many borders must we pass to go to our home?This particular phrase from the unforgettable Theo Angelopoulo’s film sums up the whole meaning of the film and the Trilogy of borders.Alexandros a TV reporter armed with the energy of the youth seeks a missing politician in a border town.The town is full of people from many ethnicities among them there is the politician(Marcelo Mastoioanni).His character a talented writer and politician disappears mysteriously and leaves everything behind to seek the very place which will make him happy,he seeks a home.The film title is a reference on the fatal step that people may take to cross the borders literally and not,the thoughts in that hour and danger of doing the step or fending off from it.Mastoioanni’s character for another time in the end of the film takes the step of the stork and goes in another journey crossing borders once more.
One of the best movies of Theo Angelopoulos.Unlikely from the most of his films,here the dialog serves the plot smoothly.The actors marry words with emotions.The beautiful landscape photography makes the movie even more beautiful.Although as all Angelopoulos movies the action is reduced.The mainstream viewer might get bored as it is a cult film with deep emotional scenes.Humanism dominates as people are the center of the films’s axis.People have to overcome all the borders in their way even if they are guarded from soldiers.
The movie with a simple plot delivers deep messages who change everyones way of thinking.All in all one of the greatest Greek films of the century.
Highlight of the film: The Suspended Step of the Stork on the board line of Evros and the odd wedding across the river.
