Kai deilos kai tolmiros

This film is one of the most prominent examples that by the time it was released the direct to video greek films that were flooding the video clubs of that time were coming to an existential end. It was 1989 and the private time was emerging as the prominent means of entertainment in Greece. This film along with others equivalent of that time, underlines this specific transition which is noted by very specific elements: poor directing and screenplay, poor acting and hastily made production along with evidently low budget. This film does not escape this ultimate fate and it is not the best of Stathis Psaltis'. Breadcrumbs of his previous success are still here (some good dialogue, crazy scenes, totally ridiculous charactes) nevertheless the magic is long gone and with it this of an entire era. This film is Psaltis' ultimate swansong in his video club era. Not long after this he moved very successfully to theater productions.
