Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Lygizos tries to explain the destruction of Greek society at the hands of the European and American banks by the drive of a young, educated man to assuage his physical and emotional hunger in bizarre and anti-social ways.

Audience Member Very intimate camerawork effectively (except a few times when there was too much playing around with the focus on the protagonist's face) directs and redirects our attention through the movie as we almost share this young man's tortured existence. An uncomfortable movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Apart from the boldness of ideology & delivery, every thing remains blank & unanswered. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member An isolated portrait of a man battling hunger and pride. Sophisticated, raw, engrossing. Don't expect any easy answers, explanations or much in the way of plot. This film is very simple and experiential. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
