"Ein reifes Zeugnis von Angelopoulos’ Kunst - von einem Zauber, der die Augen übergehen und das Herz höher schlagen lässt."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
"ELENI überwältigt mit einer Fülle unauslöschlicher Bilder, die unseren im Laufe eines Lebens angehäuften Schutzwall aus Zynismus und Ironie gegen grosse Gefühle und grosse Symbole schlichtweg hinwegschwemmt."
