The Dust of Time

A, an American film director of Greek ancestry (Willem Dafoe), is making a film that tells his story and the story of his parents. He goes back to find the tracks in time across many countries that he and his family have left from the day he was born in 1953 until the present. A recalls the erotic triangle between his mother Eleni (Irène Jacob), Jacob (Bruno Ganz) and Spyros (Michel Piccoli).

The Dust of Time is the second installment of a trilogy that began in 2004 with The Weeping Meadow (Angelopoulos was working on the third - The Other Sea - at the time of his death). The film recounts the traumas of the second part of the 20th century, ending with a glimmer of hope for the 21st. The film serves as a metaphor - The characters are caught in a dream of which they are trying to make some sense. The dust of time confuses their memories.
