Echoes of the Past (also titled Kalavryta 1943)[1] is a 2021 Greek fiction drama directed by Nicholas Dimitropoulos, written by Dimitrios Katsantonis, and starring Max von Sydow in his final film role.
Caroline Martin, a lawyer representing Germany's government on Greek reparations claims, visits Greece and meets one of the remaining survivors of the massacre Nikolas Andreou.
[11] Cara McWilliam-Richardson, reviewing for the people's movies,[12] stated that "Echoes of the Past is a thought provoking and watchable drama with a powerful performance from Von Sydow."
On film-forums.com,[15] Ben Kelly and Richard Williams stated that the film is "A thoroughly impressive work which manages to be a testament to both the subject matter and the star now lost to us."
In an interview with Variety, director Nicholas Dimitropoulos[16] noted that "He was inspired to share the tragic story of Kalavryta, which remains little-known outside of Greece, to teach audiences about a dark chapter in Europe’s recent past at a time when fascism around the world is on the rise."
