by John Kelman
For over twenty years Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou has been scoring the films of Theo Angelopoulos with a kind of sensitivity to script that has compelled Angelopoulos to write, “Eleni Karaindrou's music doesn't accompany the images--it penetrates the images, it becomes an inextricable part of the images."
