- Synopsis:
- The most controversial film by Theo Angelopoulos tells the story of the Greek bandit Alexander (Omero Antonutti) at the turn of the twentieth century. Escaped from prison, he kidnaps a party of English aristocrats and demands as ransom that his band of anarchist socialists are granted amnesty and that landowners turn their property over to the local peasants. But when the group reaches its mountain stronghold, internal tensions arise which threaten to bring about disaster. Taking inspiration from ancient cultural myth and actual historical events, Angelopoulos' visually stunning film presents a challenging and complex portrait of a revolutionary leader.
