The Weeping Meadow (Trilogia: To livadi pou dakryzei)
The film is set entirely in Greece between 1919 and 1949. It begins with the entry of the Red Army into Odessa and the flight of the Greek community there and ends in 1949 with the end of the Greek civil war.
“A construct of elegiac tableaux, classical Greek tragedy and early 20th-century Greek history” - Sight & Sound
“We rarely get to see a film of such ambition, expertise and vision.” - Time Out
