Like to present you ,,Alexander the Great'' (Greek: Ο Μεγαλέξανδρος), Is a 1980 Greek film directed by Theo Angelopoulos. The film was financed by Angelopoulos himself along with the help of German and Italian television. The source text was The Book of Megalexandros and the Dilesi Massacre in 1972.
Angelopoulos has said on his own film: "The first thing to be said is that it's the most simple film I've made so far. Its progress is linear, and it hasn't developed its stylistic form in the course of editing like the other films. There are no chronological jumps--the film begins on New Year's Eve in 1900 and proceeds from there, except for the final sequence when the little Alexander becomes Megalexandros and goes towards the city. Which is a modern city--present-day Athens, in fact--in contrast to the rural, turn-of-the-century world of the rest of the film. When the little Alexander enters the city, he brings all the experience of the century with him. He has gained a total experience of life, sex and death, and over it there is a great question mark. How long will the night last, and when will a new day break?"
Nevermind...enjoy it anyways
