Que ces dames attendent

This Movie is unique in many ways but is mainly targeted towards Greek audience, and foreign audience will not be able to associate with it.

It portrays realistically the decadent society existing in Greece in 80s- 90s including: -Coffee and Smoking abuse -Song preferences (including subliminal battles between folk vs classical) -Political themes -exaggeration of behavior -Football fanaticism (Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos) -Regionalism (North vs South Greece)

Sometimes acting is horrible during the movie but this contributes to the cultness of the movie.

It is not easy to judge this movie without thinking of the consequences of these behavior in modern Greece, having that in mind this movie remains a Drama of major historical importance.

Three guys related from marrying three sisters (Batzanakides) meet in Northern Greece at Lake Volvi. The two of them (Panos and Michalis) have as have as destination the Thasos Island whilst the third guy (Antonis) comes to see what is happening with other two falling behind. Panos was struck with the view of a beautiful accompanied girl during the route. Antonis will fall in love too (with the one of the two nurses of Panos) Two old ladies (Sultana and Arhontoula) sitting nearby will act as DJ using a CD player offering very good popular music that suits to the evolution of the movie. Antonis will go to Porto Carras Hotel at Halkidiki with the two nurses for casino playing and will use the number that fails for Panos and Michalis.  The movie turns into a study on how men perceive marriage and the impact economics have on their life.  "Eheis dikaioma na meineis i na fygeis" (Music: Nicos Zervas, Lyrics: Stavros Tsiolis) was a later success with Antonis Remos.

The story is about three friends on their way to their families on an island for holidays with some situations that they occur and they have to deal with. In general the movie has clever jokes which they imply the degradation of the modern greek.

I think that as a movie is timeless beacause everyone today is talking for exactly the same issues as in the movie like politics, football, woman, money, they act with the same ways and the jokes they make are 100% applicable to the today greek.

In overall is a great comedy and the acting and the script feel very natural.

"As Perimenoun Oi Gynaikes" ("Let The Women Wait" is the exact translation in English) is a movie every Greek man should watch, according to my opinion. The 3 protagonists are married to 3 sisters in the movie, so that has made these guys relatives. Of course the sisters never appear on the film, their names are only referred by their husbands, while they try to make their way to Thasos (a magnificent island at the north of Aegean Sea) to find their wives and children for their summer vacation. The movie goes over almost every topic a man talks about in his normal life: Women, politics, football, easy-money... And all of this talking is being done with an incredible smart sense of humor. Almost every cue being spoken by the actors is hilarious, these actors are many years together, not only as partners, but also as friends, and are some of my favorite Greek comedians. In contrast to more Greek comedies, this one does not go all the time about sex. It talks about women, but in its very own delicate way. Everyone of the 3 protagonists is unique and different from the others, while the same time they are identical. Panos (Yannis Zouganelis) plays great the love-in-first-sight victim, while he cannot betray, not his wife nor his family, but PAOK, his really beloved football club, the greatest one in North Greece. Antonis (Sakis Boulas)is a high-ranked member of PASOK, the political party which governed Greece almost 20 years and Michalis (Argiris Bakirtzis) is somewhere in the middle, trying to balance things, trying to bring a state of equilibrium, which is an utopia of course. Personally I found this film almost genius, a real mirror image of the Greek society and people. I could not comment it to a non-Greek, but as I said in the beginning EVERY Greek man should watch this film...

FEW WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE:

• You HAVE to watch it!

• If you watch it and you don't like it stop watching films! You are helpless...

It's a movie with extremely clever script, extremely clever lines. It's a deep movie, sarcastic and funny! The 3 main actors are majestic, so very natural! The directing is not flawless, the production is not huge, but the truth is all there!

I strongly recommend it, since it is one of the best movies of the Greek cinema.

I would not recommend it for non Greeks, if you don't speak the language its very hard to get the meaning.
