Letter to Theo

Lettre à Théo

A letter of love and admiration from French filmmaker Élodie Lélu to her friend and close collaborator Théo Angelopoulos, the most significant director in Greek art film history. A documentary that tells of both the Greek and the refugee crisis, interweaving excerpts from the Greek director’s films with documentary footage of the bleak reality in present-day Greece. Théo’s films and their recurring themes, immigration, nostalgia and the crushing of man by the forces of Time and History, are more meaningful than ever.
