I find the topic, the motives and the rather essayistic approach very interesting and fascinating. I like especially the parts where the themes materialize and the narration comes to the moment. (like the helmet scene, the money burning scene…etc)... I think its very interesting concerning history of cinema and interpretations of the past.

Mainly I think it is really good... I think there are many good scenes with a lot of cinematic potential, great imagery tension etc... The use of archeology to frame everything within the context of Greece’s glorious history is very effective. I think the central idea that audio recording are hidden in the grooves of the ancient amphora is really brilliant and beautiful. The idea that this woman who is in the middle of a personal crisis, in the middle of a national crisis could hear the laughter of Socrates is just great. Somehow this idea is very poetic and original and makes us think about the course humanity has taken.

Usually when I read screenplays to offer insights, I focus on questions of marketability, salability, tension, suspense, character. In short, I focus on mercantile or commercial concerns. Because that’s what the business is. But reading your work I felt myself face to face with some other beast, some other entity. In short, I felt I had read a very personal and very chthonic or numinous piece of art... It felt like being exposed to the unconscious fantasy of say a Kieslowski or Jodorowsky. Or like the book of Fellini’s dream sketches that sits (sadly, largely unopened) on my coffee table.
