The Travelling Players (1975)

“Theo Angelopoulos established himself as one of the great filmmakers of his time. As an author too, that is to say a creator resolutely faithful to his thematic and aesthetic line, indifferent to stylistic trends, rebellious against the pressures of industry as well as those of commerce.”
MARTIN, Marcel, « Études cinématographiques », 1985

“But it is because he conceives History as a myth, or rather as the reincarnation of myth in human reality "for it is man who makes history and not myth" : Fascism and Revolution are myths but their confrontation lies within History.”
MARTIN, Marcel, « Études cinématographiques », 1985

“Actors live a thousand lives. They laugh, they cry, they love and they die, in a few acts. The reality, once they have left eyeshadows and costumes, is not so different. In a few weeks, the time to rehearse and then play, the actors meet, work together and love each other, sometimes with crazy love.”
ENARD, Jean-Pierre, Le Voyage des comédiens, Grasset, 1981.

“Cinema is simple, it must help to live. To live better. That is to say, seeing better and hearing better: seeing, hearing things, people, facts—a reality — that without this help we would not see or would see badly.”
BORY, Jean-Louis, « Catalogue de la 3e éditions des rencontres internationales d’art contemporains », 1975
