Audience Member really nice shots.... only this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice string of stories that happen in parallel and in conjuction, during a great Greek religious holiday in the middle of summer! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Giannaris uses religion as a vibrant jukebox.Repressed emotions,metaphysical threat,all these are common themes referring to his style.So..one day in the midst of heating August...it's a fearful expedition if I may say.Ravishing for the weak.A portrait of some individuals,leftovers in their private road trip.Tzimou is grant,the picturesque editing provides the beat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty film tracking the lives of three families through the accidental voyeuristic eyes of a boy yearning for salvation from his tormented past. The result is an interplay of contrasts and emotions that ends rather abruptly, yet such a colourful film certainly is pleasing to the eye and the heart. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best greek films in the last 20 years. Director C. Giannaris really takes a deep look in greek society and human relationships in a summer background. Great photography, outstanding performances... at last a greek film that could a foreigner watch...
