Leave your thoughts about Eternity and a Day.
| Reel.comEdward CrouseOverall, Angelopoulos' film gives the viewer a sense of the infinite ... even if its languid artiness occasionally lulls you to sleep. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumI was moved and captivated throughout its 132 minutes. |
| TV GuideSandra ContrerasThought poets were a dying species, did you? |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisMakes a somber redemption song out of melancholy and infinite sadness, one whose eloquence transcends its stark Andrei Tarkovskyian dankness and somnambulism. |
| Film Journal InternationalPeter HenneFor at least half of its length, it is quietly revelatory, luminous and invigorating, and for those reasons it makes essential viewing. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is not a masterpiece, but it contains moments of rare beauty and its contemplation of life, death, regret, and memory has a subtle power. |
| The NationStuart KlawansWhy put up with so much that seems insufferable? Because at the end of Eternity and a Day, Angelopoulos somehow translates a character from the world of dreams to the world of reality instantaneously, before your eyes. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannWhat had been a realistic work, lyric but realistic, slides into ostentatious symbolism. |
| User ReviewRoberta NAngelopoulos demonstrates a complete mastery of spatial geography and composition, as he seamlessly shifts between the past and present in astounding single-take scenes. The lyrical style and a mature approach to death and the passage of time transform the narrative into a cinematic elegy. |
| User ReviewZoraydah LNever thought a greek director could do the miracle!!! Simply one of the best movies of all times!!! |
