Pes sti morfini akoma tin psahno

The film was in black and white and there was mysticism because of this trick. The story is great. A young girl is in trouble with drugs. She discovers love, passion, misery and hope at the same time, in a dramatic change of good and bad, black and white, probably the colour of her own life…

In this film you can discover the limits of human nature. You can discover the misery of some people, not smart dressed like the Hollywood actors, but living in a house of only one room, on the roof of a block of flats…Though, the young girl is still in love with her own life when she does paintings on the walls of her miserable place…

How does a young girl taking drugs feel? Is there a way to resist? The answer is obvious at the end of the film, but permit me not to tell you more about that, because this way the film will loose a part of its magic.

The language? The language used in the film is nothing but the everyday Greek language of people being in spiritual pain…That's the beauty and the real face of the film. Believe me, you will agree with me when you watch the film.

Thank you very much,

I saw this one twice, and am still trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Cheap production, black & white, hand-held camera, vulgar dialogs with no reason or contribution to the plot, boring music by two artists playing one loop over and over again, and very (VERY) bad "acting" Yeh it's realistic when it comes to drugs, although i don't think pot smokers and heroine addicts are two peas in a pot. The creators may be bragging over one award, but i would suggest reconsidering the award and what the movie would be if distributed outside Greece. Yet another bad token of mediocre Greek art to convince me about the talent of people who get state funding.

Before submitting this few words, i wrote and rewrote them many times,speaking about the music, the photography, the directing of the film... all that stuff i liked so much... Well, the only thing i want to say is Thank you to the makers of "akoma psaxno..." I hope you will keep on making movies.Please don't let anything stop you.

Anyway this film surely worths watching....9/10

Still Looking For Morphine was a movie that should never be shown without a warning for "maggoty content". Despite the popularity of the movie, this film was an example of how miserable are the Greek films in our days. If i could say that something was just not-horribly-poor was the direction. The actors starring in this film, could hardly someone say that what they do can be called "acting". Furthermore the script was unbelievable poor and confusing, the plot was simply void and the screenplay could cause you nausea. The only thing this movie can offer you is an opportunity to realise how precious is your time and why you shouldn't spend it so cheaply in movies like this one

This movie did Not receive any state funding. It is a "hand made" film produced-financed entirely by its makers.

Austin Film Society's Chale Nafus wrote in his review when he presented the film in Austin: "STILL LOOKING FOR MORPHINE paved the way for DIY independent filmmaking in Greece. Upon its release in 2001, the low-budget digital film proved that filmmakers didn't have to wait for complete funding from the government or producers before creating a film. Instead they could take up a digital camera, gather a small crew and cast, tell a relatively simple story, and edit on computers. Of course, it certainly helps to have a good script and good actors (or at least believable non-professionals), just as Fagras did."

In a list spanning the whole of cinematic history compiled in celebration of the magazine's 75 years, the editor's of SIGHT AND SOUND named STILL LOOKING FOR MORPHINE "a hidden gem of world cinema" and included it on a list of 75 "great films that time forgot".
