Reconstruction
Directed by Theo Angelopoulos
Produced by Greek Film Centre
A Brechtian deconstruction of crime and narrative that uses a murder investigation and its cinematic documentation to interrogate truth, perspective, and the nature of storytelling itself.
An immigrant returns to his village after many years, only to find that no one is waiting for him. When his wife and her lover murder him, an investigator attempts to reconstruct the crime, while a film crew documents the event.
