Epic

Some of the characteristics of modern epic:

Cosmic feeling
Slow pace
Treatment of weighty philosophical issues
Density of text, sound or image
Complex narratives
Proliferation of characters
Sense of spectacle
Endless form


We can appreciate some of these characteristics in the following video, which is a little
part of “Parsifal”, Hans-Jurgen Syberberg film from 1983. When I first read about this
film I thought it might be horrible to watch a film that lasts 4 hours, but then I saw this
video and it is not bad at all, I really liked it, but I still think it is way too long.
