A Blast

If this is 'modern' Greek cinema, then let's have no more. If the counties involved with producing this ultra-crude waste of time expect to win audiences and make money, they may as well close up shop. It's surprising it was even considered worthy of being released. These movie makers have trashed their lives with excessive pornography, and now expect the viewer to follow them into their demented wasteland. Only on SBS World Movies would you find a platform for such a repugnant offering. To think that Greece - once the centre of cultural learning - has been reduced to deplorable obscenity such as this immoral rubbish.

The script (if it could be called that) looked like it was made up on the run with numerous daily re-writes, the editing looked like someone dropped the footage on the floor then cut it together as they found it. The wobble-cam hand held camera resembled an ultra cheap porn flick. Nothing, save a lead performance, had any merit and that was totally wasted by inept handling. Even at 1Hr 20m it seemed interminable.

Greece has enough political and moral problems without its movie makers adding to them on the world stage. Trash remains trash no matter how much some pretentious festival critics try to market it. Without worthy redeeming qualities, one can only recommend staying away... for the sake of your mental health.
