One of the Last TV Interviews of Theo Angelopoulos Shown in Bulgaria

During a TV interview that director Theo Angelopoulos gave in Bulgaria, Theo said that while he has been to Sofia for the International Film Festival, the only thing that he had to say to the audience was: “Only a few square meters of land separate Greece with Bulgaria, nothing else”.

The interview was presented yesterday in a local channel of Bulgaria and was shot last November during the shooting of a new documentary film from Theo Angelopoulos about the ongoing crisis in Greece.

In the interview Angelopoulos told Bulgarian writer Ivan Kulekov: “While my movies were being presented in Sofia, the cinemas were packed with people. Bulgarian people wanted to explore humanity through realistic films”.

Moreover, Angelopoulos stated that the times are a reflection of us and believed that the difficult times in Greece will worsen, because there is not only the economic crisis that hit Greece, there is also a political crisis and a crisis of values in Greece.

After a question posed by Ivan Kulekov concerning the coherence of Germany as a nation compared to Greece, Theo made it clear: “Germans’ coherence and their actions’ planning differs from the analogous conditions in Greece. Germans’ temperament is not similar to Greeks’ one. I admire the self-discipline that Germans demonstrate in their life. Nevertheless, I prefer the Balkan craziness that exists in Greece”.

Bulgarian TV said the last goodbye to Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos through the presentation of this interview and praised the work of the Greek filmmaker that will surely influence further generations in the Balkan region.
