Samoure

I lucky to catch this amazing short at the LFF. This film had me on the edge of my seat.

Set in the hills of Crete a shepherd tends to his flock. Not all is what it seems. Obessesed by Samuria movies he looks like a big guy but as the film progresses we realise he is a gentle giant. Once this point is realised he film has the power Of Mice and Men. Like when his uncle throws him out of the shop for dropping the tomatoes. I really felt for him. He's like a big kid - a dreamer - like all of us. His relationship with his mother is truly moving.

This film is worth catching.

It reminds old myths about shepherds, mother love, stories about bullying and revenge and , more important, it reminds, in beautiful way, the art of Theo. Papadoulakis. A touching story about the memories of childhood, having as axis the presence of father, the care of mother for her son and the dreams about Samure universe. Short, just admirable short film for each detail, for great storytelling.
