SYNOPSIS
He was one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century.
He was considered as the contemporary Pheidias.
His life became a unique example of artistic pathos,
ιn his struggle to give life to clay he sacrificed his own self.
He entered into the prison of the Titans, the deepest caves
of Earth,
to cleanse his consciousness and learn the ineffable mysteries
of Divine Will, to learn how does matter turn into spirit
And then he came back to our world to reveal to us the Divine Harmony.
His work is divided into two periods.
Classic Period 1871-1877 ( 20 -26 years old)
Modern Period 1918-1938 (67-87 years old)
Director's Note
The film deals with Yannoulis Chalepas personal struggle
against
Bavarian Classicism on his way towards his personal creative fulfillment.
The need to assimilate ancient Hellenic art in parallel to
Byzantine technique
becomes an immense effort to render ethos and style which is Hellenic and
at the same time modern.
The dialogues are almost all of them Chalepas own words. The
narrative
of the film relies on the same myths which were the great sculptor’s
concern
and became important steps in his life.
The style of the film follows this Hellenic line, which is Doric in presentation
and slow in rhythm like Byzantine music which entraps us
in the spiritual world
of this unique creator and allows us to experience the greatness....
