One of earliest features from Greek filmmaker Theodore Angelopoulos, Days of '36 is a critique of dictatorial social repression in contemporary Greece as told through the relatively straightforward story of a prisoner who, in 1936, takes a conservative politician hostage on a visit to his jail. Even here, Angelopoulos'' fluid, lengthy, and mobile sequence shots predominate. Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize Forum of New Cinema at the 1973 Berlin Film Festival. In Greek with optional English, Greek, and French subtitles. NOTE: This rental is a PAL DVD and requires a REGION FREE DVD player to operate. Theo Angelopoulos---Greece---1972---105 mins.

"relatively straightforward". Come on Facets. I was half way into the movie without really understanding what was going on. At first I thought that subtitles might have been sketchy, but dialogue was so sparse that I rejected that theory. Lots of walking around and some scenes didn't seem to have any connection with the narrative. I did gather that the prisoner was a no- goodnik who put the government in a pickle, whatever action it took was bound to lead to disaster. Evidently was supposed to take place before the Metaxas dictatorship, but I wasn't sure. It might have been helpful if film's makers had at least sketched in Greek history of the period, .
