Fonissa

Just watched Fonissa in all its glory on the big screen: Great picture and DoP. Costumes,scenery,ligh,props,all really well taken care of.

The acting as expected was top notch by the star Ms Karabeti,however due to the strange idiomatic 1800s Greek language the rest of the cast felt sub par to me,as expected once again: most actors in Greek movies perform like they are on a theatrical stage rather than on a movie. And they always use the excuse of "that's how we wanted it,it's more dramatic" Well,nope it's just annoying.

Same goes for the usual problem in 99% of Greek movies: LACK OF CURVES. Films need to have some curves of tension,change of pace,emotion,and have a climax. This one didn't. Same stuff happening to all the film same pace same angles until the last scene when it's ends so abrupt and you re like "ah ok" But in all,a decent movie and bravo to everyone,especially director and DoP and costumes.
