The Dust of Time (Greek: Η Σκόνη του Χρόνου) is a film by Theodoros Angelopoulos shown on 12 February 2009 at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival[1] and well received by critics.[2][3]
This film is the second of an unofficial trilogy started with The Weeping Meadow in 2004. The last part of the trilogy has the working title "Tomorrow"[4]. All films are dealing with the question of time.
In a press conference for the Greek media, the director was asked about the critics for his film and replied that "the directors are not chosen by the critics or by the audience but by the time" and that for him all of his films are chapters of the same films, "Chapters, as he said, of a big book, about human destiny, about the times passed and about the times coming"[4]

[edit] Plot
An American film director of Greek descent named A., portrayed by Willem Dafoe, goes back to find the tracks in time across many countries he and his family left from the day he was born in 1953 until the present (early twentyfirst century). The dust of time confuses memories[5]. The film describes the erotic triangle between the director's mother Eleni (Irène Jacob), Jacob (Bruno Ganz) and Spyros (Michel Piccoli).
