Two very drawn-out, desolate hours feel like wading

Two very drawn-out, desolate hours feel like wading through tar as Angelopoulos depicts coming-of-age as the bitter loss of innocence. Young siblings Voula and Alexandros have latched onto a grand idea to which they attach their sense of identity and self-worth, the idea that they might one day meet their father, who "lives in Germany." It's an easy concept to love; when someone is known to children only as a concept, there are no gaps in their teeth or wrinkles to their skin. The specifics of their absent father can shift with a whim and be just as real as anything else. The only thing that can change this image of unassailable perfection is reality. Voula and Alexandros set out to find their father, venturing into a world of which they have no knowledge and minimal direction. Their journey finds them encountering others in a similar state - desperately clinging to a reality that may or may not have a basis in reality, but which forms the only solid ground to anchor themselves to. Together they encounter hardship, and the contrast between preserving the comfort of a crafted reality (when it is placed under extreme stress) and seemingly inevitable disillusionment is the film's major conflict. Heavy on the soul-crushing tone, allegory, and beautiful cinematography, it's about as fast-paced as a quadriplegic doing an army crawl and requires a certain mood to stick with to the end, but it's another masterpiece in human behavior from Angelopoulos. (4/5)

A solemn almost biblical coming of age tale

A solemn almost biblical coming of age tale infused with brutality, dreams, aspirations and familial love. Using a lot of symbolism, it is a beautifully crafted piece of art with a lovely soundtrack. I just found it a bit of an arthouse drag at times. Watched on Internet Archive site.
