Landscape in the Mist

Landscape in the Mist

Greek girl Wola and her brother Alexander go to the train station every night to watch the train to Germany start, where they think Dad lives. It's just a lie from their mother, who is a slut and doesn't even know who their father is. One day, they jumped on the train and embarked on a "long journey into the night". But they were both injured during the trip, and the sister was raped by a truck driver when they hitchhiked. Two young figures in the fog are like eye-catching question marks, questioning this world where the rules are made by adults.
In this film, the cruelty and morbidity of society emerges calmly. Angelopoulos does not criticize the trend of people's reluctance to look back on history and abandon idealism in reality, but to rely on the protagonist's emotional Lost and confused, expressing deep dissatisfaction and helplessness. He makes the protagonist of the film on a journey of wandering and searching. Their journey is to discover, and the end of discovery is even more hopeless, only to fall into the double exile of inner and outer. It is in the prophetic story that Angelopoulos permeates all the realities of contemporary Greeks with his worried gaze. His allegorical scenes, even if expanded, are not lacking in sincerity.
This film is Angelopoulos' ninth film and part of the "Silence Trilogy". Just like his inherent style, the long shots of the "characters in the landscape" in the film are sentimental and poetic, overflowing with simple aesthetic concepts and free spirit.

Landscape in the Mist quotes

  • Orestis: If I were to shout, who would hear me out of the armies of angels?

  • Voula: [writing a letter to her father] Dear father, we are writing because we have decided to come and find you. We have never seen you and we miss you. We talk about you all the time. Mummy will be upset that we've gone. Deep down inside we love her, don't think we don't, but she doesn't understand anything. We don't know what you look like. Alexander says all sorts of things. He dreams about you. We miss you so much. Sometimes on my way home from school I think I hear footsteps behind me, your footsteps, and when I turn to look there's no one. Then I feel very lonely. We don't want to be a burden to you. We just want to get to know you and then we'll go away again.
