Digger

Grounded, witty, realistic, with excellent photography. A true story with true people as protagonists, Greece contemporanity, its distorted modernity filmed with sensitivity and humor. Sound scriptplay, gorgeous landscapes, exvellent performances, Mourikis at his best.

With a form of modern western, the director builds a confrontation with the progress as a destructive element, which is also defined in the relationship of the bohemian father and the son, full of reproaches. With an exceptional cinematography that shows the greatness of the landscape as well as the intimacy of the people, the film works in contrast, in the harshness of the forest and its inhabitants.

"Digger" is a Drama movie in which we watch a young man returning to his hometown and see his father after many years. They both have to find the correct way to communicate after so many years apart.

I liked this movie very much because despite its simple plot it was interesting. The direction which was made by Georgis Grigorakis was very good and he presented very well both his main characters and their relationship. In addition to this, he succeeded on presenting in a very clever way some of the most important subjects of our times, such as climate change and deforestation. The interpretations of Argyris Pandazaras who played as Johnny, Vangelis Mourikis who played as Nikitas and Sofia Kokkali who played as Mary were very good. Finally, I have to say that "Digger" is a nice drama movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

Excellent work, wonderful photography, beautiful locations, captivating shots, fantastic acting, Mourikis is the best. Realistic senario which exposes environment, economical, ethical and social dilemmas. The characters are well developed with back stories. There are funny moments and hard moments just as life is.

The best film I have watched in ages if never.

Greece's official entry to 2022's Oscars is decent and well made. It's real, simple and intense. Screenplay is very good, it tackles interesting topics as well. Cinematography is great and so are the performances.
