Dreamland of Desire (1961)
Overview
Essentially an extensive travelogue through Greece and its islands, this 103-minute documentary was written, directed, and shot over a two-year period by Wolfgang Mueller-Sehn. Aside from a tour of the scenic and historical wonders of the country, Mueller-Sehn spends a lot of time in Athens examining its famous attractions like the Acropolis. Perhaps over-long at its current running time, this docu introduction to Greece would certainly be ideal for anyone planning a first visit to the country.
