The beekeeper [DVD] / Theo Angelopoulos. - [s.l.] : Artificial eye, 1986. - 1 DVD (117 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.

Distinguished Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos (Eternity and a Day, Trilogy: The Weeping Meadow) directs the great Marcello Mastroianni in this extraordinary and beautifully photographed tale of self-discovery. Mastroianni plays Spyros, a schoolmaster of late middle-age who is disenchanted and unfulfilled by life. Deciding to undertake a solitary journey to find emerging springtime flowers for his cherished beehives, Spyros encounters a young female hitchhiker with whom he begins to become obsessed. Charted with quiet emotional intensity, 'The Beekeeper' is a moving and powerful film about a man's struggle to find release from the spectre of the past.


In Greek with English subtitles (and optional French audio).
