As perimenoun oi gynaikes!

The story is about three friends on their way to their families on an island for holidays with some situations that they occur and they have to deal with. In general the movie has clever jokes which they imply the degradation of the modern greek.

I think that as a movie is timeless beacause everyone today is talking for exactly the same issues as in the movie like politics, football, woman, money, they act with the same ways and the jokes they make are 100% applicable to the today greek.

In overall is a great comedy and the acting and the script feel very natural.

One of the best Greek comedies ever, this film is a silent satire of the modern Greek reality; that of a forgotten political passion, eternal struggle for gaining and lack of self-criticism.

True to their identity, the heroes of this film, men, relatives, passionate, are a microcosm of a whole nation, which always complains, always falls in love and always tries to make the most out of every situation. Moral when it serves them, ideologists when they are allowed to be, are "always right", always victims and always do what they want in the end.

The dynamic confrontation of Panos and Antonis (played by an established artistic pair, with natural chemistry) takes this film away from the typical atmosphere of a Tsiolis work, making it more oral and approachable by the wider public. Yet, it functions perfectly as a representation of two typical characters of Greek life.

Argiris Bakirtzis, the standard protagonist of the directors latest and best films, functions here as a balance factor, that only displays any personality "between the lines" covering the final third of the national character pool. Now the representation of the modern Greek man is complete! Women are almost absent in this film although men always appear under their influence. A superficial influence that even in the form of a marriage or mad love, play a second role in the eyes of these modern men. Women don't need to talk much here. Maybe because men don't listen anyway.

Tsioli's direction is as always more optical than integral. What people say is of little importance anyway, since it only serves them as a mask of sound to cover what they really are, and you can always see it in their actions, that never lie. The characters here talk a lot more than in other of his films, mostly because they are by nature big mouths. But the story again really takes place in their movements. Movements sometimes picturesque and stylistic, that reaches the level of pantomime.

Still, the comedy works really well, making it by far the funniest film of the director and one of the funniest Greek comedies ever. Yet, again a difficult one, for a non-Greek to appreciate, with all these inside jokes.

FEW WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE:

• You HAVE to watch it!

• If you watch it and you don't like it stop watching films! You are helpless...

It's a movie with extremely clever script, extremely clever lines. It's a deep movie, sarcastic and funny! The 3 main actors are majestic, so very natural! The directing is not flawless, the production is not huge, but the truth is all there!

I strongly recommend it, since it is one of the best movies of the Greek cinema.

I would not recommend it for non Greeks, if you don't speak the language its very hard to get the meaning.

A road movie, where all aspects of modern Greek (especially North Greek) common psyche are exposed. I consider it the best film ever made about modern Greek lifestyle, especially as far as men are concerned. It is not a comedy only. It is a drama, a surrealistic masterpiece and a documentary. Using humorous dialog, the actors, each representing different characters of Greek men, get exposed and become vulnerable. Their standards become fragmented and their weaknesses visible. The audience will love the characters. Acting, directing, script... Everything touches perfection. Difficult for non-Greeks to understand the meaning of this film, as this is hidden behind smart dialog that only insiders will recognize. A must see!

Great satire of the modern greek -tsifteteli, souvlaki, xavale- society given with a great political sense and fair doses of clever humour. The dialogues are inflammable and the interpretations are excellent. ( both Zouganelis and Boulas in the leading roles are very much worth being noticed)
