Le pas suspendu de la cigogne

This is the first part of Border Trilogy. This film shows how these barriers and borders divide people, how loved ones are separated, in deep analysis.

Theo Angelopoulos is one of the best director with a different vision, emphasizing the visual philosophy, and aesthetic aspects of film making. His unique visuals in mist and grey tone is prominent in this film as well. This is a very slow moving, intellectual, political and philosophical movie, so not everyone can enjoy it the same way. But, his films are a must watch for academic purposes.
