See more Ken R @RT36478503 04/26/2020 Striking production values lift this personal story of displaced family to well above the average. It takes a well-measured look at the political/racial/religious intolerance between Turkey and Greece in post-war Istanbul. Wonderful cinematography, warm performances, a substantial and lushly orchestrated music score, wrapped up in superb production design; combine to ensure an absorbing study of interpersonal relationships. While also offering a unique insight into the philosophy at the heart of traditional cuisine and its special role in keeping families together. With little doubt autobiographical, writer/director Tassos Boulmetis' fascinating movie is both humorously slightly over the top, and realistically heartfelt. His main characters fit neatly into a metaphoric representation of how politics totally changed the face of a country - altering people's lives and relationships forever. In 2003 and to this day, this film still holds the record for the largest number of admissions across the nation. Making it one of Greases' most successful movies, being only second behind ticket sales for the movie blockbuster, Titanic during its Greek release. Recommended for discerning viewing and to those wanting an insight into the unfortunate history of these two countries.
