Mikra Anglia

"Little England" is a Drama - Romance movie in which we watch the lives of two sisters in the Greek island of Andros getting complicated. Their characters are completely different and they have different perspectives about life.

I liked this movie very much because it presents the truth behind some issues of Greece at the beginning of the 20th century and the lives of its people who lived in islands. The plot was very interesting and contained some plot twists that made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Pantelis Voulgaris was for one more time exceptional. The interpretations of Andreas Konstantinou who played as Spyros Maltabes, Penelope Tsilika who played as Orsa Saltaferou and Sofia Kokkali who played as Mosha Saltaferou were amazing and their combination made the difference. Finally, I have to say that "Little England" is an amazing movie and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it.

One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Its what you call a quality film. Exquisite portrayal of the sisterhood. Lust, love, jealousy and passion are shown in the most tearful, humane way.

Within a general view, this movie is highly above average. Moreover, the last 40-45 minutes of the movie is almost perfect; proper cinematography, aesthetic scenes and succesful tension of psychological portrays.

But, the movie has a rhytm problem. Within different parts of the movie, events happen in different time speeds. In the beginning, years flow rapidly and some major matters happen in seconds or minutes. In middle parts, while rapid flowing continues, a moderate speed starts to determine the scenes. Finally, in last 40-45 minutes, the movie finds its rhytm and every seconds of movie gets more staggering.

Except rhytm problem; it is an awesome drama.

Pantelis Voulgaris in his best so far film. The actors, photography, scrip everything was in tune! I am Just grateful I have watched this film! The aesthetics have a unique character. The cinematography gives of a real character to the film. Every angle is beautiful and truly can me isolated, framed and hung on a wall. Nevertheless it is so humble without exaggerations operates in favor of the storytelling. The characters are very well written and have an amazing depth to a point that become symbols. The actors gave wonderful performances and in many cases we see excellency in acting. After leaving the cinema I felt that I have seen something magnificent. I cannot recall many films giving me such filling!

Mikra Aglia is a rare work of art . Pictures like paintings on a wall, music perfectly matched , excellency in acting and directing all in one film. Feelings of love and despair will reach your heart if you watch this film. The director slowly drags you to be part of the beautiful environment of the Greek island of Andros . In some dramatic scenes I felt like I was in the room witnessing the drama . A unique masterpiece. A film not to be missed from all those who seek quality cinema in a time when thousands of trash movies full of violence are produced ,mainly from the US, and consumed by societies increasing the real violence in them. I watched the film yesterday night and I will watch it again today . I watched more than one hundred films in the last six months and I felt the need to write a review only twice , for this film and for the "Best offer" of Giussepe Tornatore .

Thank you director ( Pantelis Voulgaris ) for the gift of watching this film .
