Review of Landscape in the Mist (1988) by Nishlank J — 06 Jun 2009
Talk about losing your moorings... When Orestes declares that he and the children are living out "what theater people call an epilogue" towards the end of the film, he's about an hour and a half too late.
From the early moment when Voula and Alexander's Uncle strips the audience of the children's idealism, 'Landscape in the Mist' becomes one big, distended tragedy of an afterword. And for the surrealistic humor that occasionally softens the tone, nothing really can mitigate the pain of the moment when Voula realizes the true price of a train ticket.
This movie overflows with feeling, intelligence, and lyricism. A masterpiece.
