Days of ‘36 (Angelopoulos, 1972): ICA Cinema, 4pm


This film is part of the Theo Angelopoulos season at the ICA Cinema. Details here.

ICA introduction:

Theo Angelopoulos' second feature, and the first part of his trilogy of history, Days of '36 leans further into the procedural tendencies of his debut as he crafts a densely layered investigation into the machinations of political corruption. From dusty courtyards draped in Mediterranean sun to the dim smoky corridors and offices of a prison, Angelopoulos's tale of a political assassination and ensuing governmental crisis is a profoundly tactile study of Greek history shortly before the dictatorship of General Metaxas.


Here (and above) is the trailer.
