Review by gridoon2025

If you think that the (in)famous "Greek Weird Wave" started only in 2009 with Yorgos Lanthimos' "Dogtooth", think again: here's a pretty weird Greek film from 1981. It's sort of a Greek "Rear Window", but without any of the thriller elements. It is also a period snapshot of Athens and its youth in the early 1980s (expect lots of Pacman and bike racing). Giorgos Panousopoulos seems to be a better director than writer: there is not much story here - the narrative is rather loose - but the film is a stylish, absorbing, hypnotic mood piece. It brought something new to Greek cinema when it came out. *** out of 4.
