Audience Member It seems that Smaragdis has made one decent film after all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A simultaneously pompous and top-notch artistic edifice bloomed with the silence and photographic images and the poetry of one of the most important Greek scholars ever.The criticism it received from the Greek public and critic groups was undoubtedly for the lack of substantial linear,the usage of beginning and an end.Smaragdis' work was because of this thought.A variety film,a biopic inconsistent,avoiding the conservative environment and modern tapestry. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
