Landscape In The Mist (Greek: Τοπίο στην ομίχλη, translit.Topío Stín Omíchli) is a 1988 Greek coming-of-age road tragedy film co-written and directed by Theo Angelopoulos. The film was selected as the Greek entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 62nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1] A critics' poll by the Village Voice included it in the 100 Best Films of the 20th Century list.[2] The film is the third installment in Angelopoulos' Trilogy of Silence, following Voyage to Cythera (1984) and The Beekeeper (1986). Since then it has been regarded as Angelopoulos' greatest masterpiece, one of the best movies of 1988, of the 80s, of the 20th century, and one of the greatest and best Greek movies of all time.
