panago

Probably one of the best Greek movies ever made! The characters seen and developed in the film are so typical Greeks so it is inevitable not to see yourself in one of them, especially if you are a Greek!

The dialogues themselves even though they are very well studied and carefully selected come very naturally and seem very alive. Especially with the magnificent and all time classic acting of Costas Hajihristos and the huge support he gets by all of the other actors in making Zikos (the main character) one of the best characters presented in Greek silver screens. Every single quote, every single word that comes out of Zikos and the way he interacts with the other characters are simply remarkable and unmatched even by the best world famous comedians of our time! A movie that amuses you the first time you see it and then makes you admire it as you see it over and over again and finally you are just amazed by the enormous talent of Hajihristos and the fast paced dialogues! A masterpiece!

When the first scenes of this magnificent piece of art started passing my eyes,my brain could not believe that it was a movie!Everything looked so artistic and exquisite, I felt like I was visiting an art exhibition and looking at some geniuses dream paintings! If we could converse one movie still into a painting, it's almost certain that art critics and historians would be having quite some job for many years! Everything looks so alive and fluid and I had the feeling the background itself was narrating the story as well...An astonishing work by Tim Burton who now has set the standards so hight that I think the only director can pass them, is himself!
