CGiii Comment
Do you want a mind-f*@k? Well...here it is!
Koutras delivers a fine film...with a multitude of twists and turns...skilfully masqueraded as prediction - very clever indeed.
There is a warmth and humanity...in a twisted sort of way.
Orfanou is perfection and Kokiasmenos is the epitome of rough dignity.
The epilogue is unnecessary...leave them guessing...but, there is still the f*@ked-up mind lingering behind.
A very fine film indeed.
