Las fronteras, la muerte y la eternidad. La poesía en el cine de T. Anguelópulos

Abstract

In this paper the authoress deals with the film "The eternity and a Day", linking it with modem Greek Lyrics, especially with the character of Dionysios Solomos, cornerstone of National Greek Poetry. His presence in the film is used as a symbol of Greek values which, in times of crisis (either individual-illness- or collective -war, immigration-) turn themselves into universal referents such as freedom and human dignity.
