In “Meat,” Dimitris Nakos presents a gruesome look at familial breakdown and moral decay in the setting of a butcher shop (the irony is obvious). This first feature played at festivals like Toronto and Thessaloniki, invites viewers to witness the raw interaction of power and dependence simmering beneath the surface of everyday life. It is set against the backdrop of a small Greek village.
The movie starts with a real slaughterhouse, immersing us in a world where life and death dance together in a horrifying dance. This isn’t just a story about a butcher; it’s a modern Greek tragedy in which societal standards and family responsibilities have replaced the gods. When it premiered at the 46th Cinemed Festival, the film received praise for its daring photography, which was frequently frantic and hyperactive, much like the chaos of the characters’ lives.
