Kynigoi, Oi plot
New Year's Eve 1976. On a Greek island, a group of hunters discover a corpse in the snow, wonderfully preserved by the cold. Judging by its uniform, it appears to be one of thousands of partisans killed during the civil war, and the hunters (all pro-government bourgeoisie) decide to carry it back to their hunting lodge for an autopsy.

Standalone sequel to The Comedians and deals with Greek history in the period 1952-1967.
A group of hunters from the wealthy bourgeoisie are saddled with a corpse from 1949 on New Year's Eve.
Just like in The Comedians, a character only has to walk out of a door to find themselves in an incident from the past.
It would be useful to read up a bit on the Greek history of that period that ended with the coup d'état on April 21, 1967 and the subsequent colonels' regime (which itself was deposed by a new coup d'état on November 25, 1973).
Angelopoulos assumes in his films that you know the history and also consider how quickly this film was made after the junta.
Furthermore, long playing time, lots of singing and scenes that last for minutes.
In my opinion (still) one of the greatest living filmmakers.
Masterpiece!
