cinema, mysticism, AngelopoulosAbstract
Theodoros Angelopoulos' late work, developed in the 1990s, has po-litical and human attributes already perceived and deciphered by critics and academia. However, we also notice in his films a mystical aspect that has not yet been explored in any of these media. The purpose of this article is to characterize the mystical experience in a particular production by the Greek director. Our object of study will be the work Eternity and a day (Mia aioniotita kai mia mera, 1998). We will use as theoretical support authors like Robert Charles Zaehner, Steven Katz, Paul Schrader and Frederico Pieper.
