The Travelling Players (Greek: Ο Θίασος; O Thiassos) is a 1975 Greek film directed by Theo Angelopoulos.
It and appears on most lists of the greatest films of the 20th century. It uses less than one hundred shots to explore the history of mid-century Greece. Angelopoulos is also fond of manipulating time, sometimes going chronologically backward and forward within a single shot. His films often include dead spots that invite the viewer to think about what has just transpired on the screen. Motionless tableaus and direct address to the camera by actors shedding their film identities are other favored techniques.
