An influential Greek filmmaker, Angelopoulos came to prominence with films reflecting his country’s modern history, Days of ’36 (1972), The Travelling Players (1975) and The Huntsman (1977). More esoteric work did not suit all tastes, but he found further acclaim with Ulysses’ Gaze (1995) and Eternity and a Day (1998).
