help Ulysses' Gaze FAQ
What is Harvey Keitel's character searching for in Ulysses' Gaze?
Harvey Keitel plays a Greek filmmaker, often called A, who searches through the Balkans for lost early film reels by the Manakis brothers. Theo Angelopoulos uses that search as a modern Odyssey through memory, exile, and war.
Why is Sarajevo important in Ulysses' Gaze?
Sarajevo is the endpoint of the protagonist's journey and places the film directly inside the Balkan wars of the 1990s. The ruined city turns the search for cinema history into a confrontation with contemporary European violence.
How long is Ulysses' Gaze?
Ulysses' Gaze runs about 176 minutes, so it is a deliberately slow, epic-scale drama. That length is typical of Angelopoulos' long-take style, where movement, landscape, and silence carry much of the meaning.
Did Ulysses' Gaze win anything at Cannes?
Yes, Ulysses' Gaze won the Grand Prix at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. It starred Harvey Keitel alongside Maia Morgenstern and Erland Josephson in an international co-production.
