The film begins to review the first silent film reflecting the Balkans during the First World War. The content is a scene describing the lives of female textile workers. The protagonist ( Harvey Keitel Harvey Keitel) is a Greek-American. After experiencing the baptism of the war, he returned to his hometown with emotion, looking for the place where the movie started. He told his companions about the years he had spent here, nostalgic and sad. In particular, seeing the churches marching with torches in hand, evoked his memories of cruel wars. Finally, he was determined to flee. It was snowing, he asked for a taxi and promised to take an old man back home to see. However, the devastated war ruins left the elderly homeless. The car broke down in the snow, so he could only get on the train and move on. In Sarajevo, accompanied by the director of the cinema, he failed to find the silent film, but fell in love with the director's daughter at first sight. He entered the social circle with a high profile, only to find that the place had   been immersed in the culture of the former Soviet Union, singing the melody of Katyusha everywhere. He once witnessed the removal of Lenin's statue, with complex feelings surging in his heart.
The film won the Grand Prix of the Jury at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • Niko: The first thing God created was the journey, then came doubt, and nostalgia.

  • Taxi Driver: [talking to A] Know something? Greece is dying... We're dying as a people. We've come full circle. I don't know for how many thousands years, among broken stones and statues... and now we're dying. But if Greece is to die, she'd better do it quickly, because the agony lasts too long, and makes too much noise.
