Les lanternes rouges

After viewing this movie, it will be impossible to believe that what you just saw was merely a number of actors playing their role for a film. Instead, you get the impression that those people were actually leaving there and those were the lives they led. I believe that this is pure art! No need to invest a fortune for an impressive production as long as there are highly skilled actors and directors who do an excellent job of letting you enter the magic world of the movie and share their experience. The underground atmosphere is depicted in an excellent even nostalgic way. The music is captivating. Tzeni Karezi will always remain in Greek people's hearts no matter how many years will pass. If you really love the art of pure cinematography your shouldn't miss this movie.

"Ta Kokkina Fanaria" (Red Latterns) is one of the most celebrated greek films. Some of the most popular actors of Greece star in it. The movie offers excellent performances especially by the GREAT Manos Katrakis, Jenny Karezi and Alexandra Ladikou. It managed to be one of the four Greek films nominated for an Academy Award for Best Language Film. The director George Javellas did a marvellous job in a film that it's considered a classic here in Greece. Don't miss it.

One of the best Greek films ever. The mere fact that so many talented well-known actors manage to blend together so masterfully without any one overshadowing another, makes this film a wonderful example of how good classic films are made! A definite must-see for anyone who truly appreciates cinema.

Life in ''Trouba''. The stories of women who can only have sex, but no love. Great actors as Tzeni Karezi, Giorgos Fountas, Despo Diamantidou, Manos Katrakis, Dimitris Papamihael are there. Katerina's Helmi performance is classic for the greek cinema. Mary Hronopoulou is great in this film. (Maybe the best performance in this movie). A big movie (more than two hours) full of emotions. A movie full of Greece, but not that Greece for tourists but for... travellers.

A movie that excels in direction, performances, cinematography, music, screenplay originality, music etc. and also stands the test of time. By any standard, a masterpiece!
