We have friends who were there when it happened, and at the hospital when he died... in fact I suppose my husband was one of the first to hear of his passing, since they phoned, pretty much in shock, upon leaving the hospital. Everyone is feeling stunned and numb, and sometimes it feels like tragedy is stacking upon tragedy here.

How sad.
He was an amazing director. In 89 or 90, he was featured at the LA film festival and I was able to see most of his older films in the theater. They made quite an impression, especially "The Travelling Players" and "Alexander the Great".
I don't think his work, with its emphasis on long takes, lends itself to being served up in clips. But I loved the clip of "Landscape in the Mist", which I have not seen, with the telling of the myth, "First there was chaos, and then the light was made." It doesn't get any more succinct.

My Mother swears there has been a change in Greeks' driving habits since the 70s. I can't say I've noticed. They were riding motorcycles on the sidewalks then and I saw it on my last visit as well. Almost being run down by a motorcycle is a widely shared experience in Greece.comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.112049-4151189Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:57:42 -0800BigSkyBy: Mister Bijou

When my brother sent me an e-mail with the subject line "Greek director killed in road accident," my immediate thought was "Please don't let it be Angelopoulos." But it was. A terrible loss for world cinema; I haven't seen many of his movies (<em>The Travelling Players</em> is my favorite of those I've seen), but I look forward to seeing others, and I deeply regret there won't be any more.comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.112049-4151833Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:48:06 -0800languagehatBy: ersatz

What a waste. He had a deeply personal style and he still had films in him, which we will never see now. He was widely considered if not the best, one of the best living Greek directors and he was a go-to example of an artistically successful filmmaker who was also recognised abroad. Sad to see him go.

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
