Eternity and a Day: 1998 Greek Drama: 2h 12m: Director- Thodoros Angelopoulos: Old poet Alexdrandros (Bruno Ganz) is dying and day before of the sanatorium departure, he saves a migrant boy from human traffickers. The strange kid utters typical words which remind Alexandros an old poet who once bought the words by paying money. Frustrated from his own daughter, Alexandros frequently talks to his late wife and shares with her the past moments. He tries to help the kid which develops a poignant bonding between them. It's a poem than a movie as it exposes the loneliness of both the characters in a very delicate manner and in different ways. Bruno's performance is so impressive (who portrayed the Hitler in The Downfall) and the kid's innocence tears you apart. A very great job indeed.
