Karaindrou is not at all a lucky composer. She has an extremely demanding task: to compose for Angelopoulos's films. She has to reach an equally aesthetic point. In order to perceive the amount of effort, it is quite necessary to understand that behind Angelopoulos films is the touchy subject of modern Greek history. The after WWII Greek society in continuous political and economical turmoil. In order to convey his message, Angelopoulos uses something more than conventional cinema, something more than the image: He uses poetry in its photographic version. It takes more than mere moving pictures. It takes a kind of slow motion close to the stillness of photography to make a poetical narration of history
Karaindrou has to make it with sound, an inherently weaker means of expression compared to the visual one. And finally she performs. You can see Angelopoulos through her music. You can feel the images. Or forget everything about the motion picture that gave birth to this gem and enjoy the musical experience as you can do with Mahler without ever watching "Death in Venice"
