Review of Landscape in the Mist (1988) by Nikolas G — 26 Mar 2008

There are sights in the film that once seen cannot be forgotten. In the most spectacular sequence, the principal characters watch transfixed as a helicopter slowly lifts a giant stone hand from the harbor in the Greek port city of Thessaloniki and slowly transports it into the distance above the rooftops.

It is as if an ancient oracle were suddenly dredged up from the muck and given one last miraculous chance to point its finger in sad accusation at the modern age before being deposited into oblivion.
