- DirectorStelios CharalampopoulosStarsStefania KalomiriMenelaos KyparissisLefteris TsatsisAnemos Eleftherias, the unique fictional film dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution, follows the journey of a fictional character, Ioannis Philon, from the diaspora of Hellenism to the pre-revolutionary Peloponnese with the soldier and politician Christoforos Perraivos. Using as a narrative joint the text uttered by a chromolithographer at the beginning of the twentieth century in the form of a popular reading of those times and incorporating the current era into the scenario through a more scientific look, Stelios Charalambopoulos presents an ambitious representation, peculiarly eclectic, not always coherent , serious and academic. The Wind of Freedom fortunately has nothing to do with the pompous cinematic caricatures of the 70s, because it honors heroism and struggle with romance and composure, a mood of observation and love for the revolutionary flame of the protagonist. Without departing from the style of his best films, which are the documentaries Deck Diary and Pessoa/Cavafis, the director films elegantly and finds an emotional charge in the looks, although he does not avoid the frequent movement from one scene to the next as if joining long vignettes, without always finding the vital rhythm the film needs.
