Apologies for the lack of posts yesterday, I am currently staying in the Greek islands and the wifi is absolutely atrocious here at the airbnb or, really, just in the entire island of Milos in general.uffice to say, whenever I do find a signal I pounce and try to write something. Anyway, just like Spain, the best Greek movies I have ever seen. What I did notice was that, on the international scene, ever since the untimely death of Theo Angelopoulos, we haven’t really seen much Greek representation. Of course the exception is Yorgos Lanthimos who has just taken over the country’s film scene, but it seems like he may stay in the states, especially after the success of his 2018 masterclass “The Favourite."
I could only find seven films, I know, but I am sure there must be 10 great movies from this country that I have seen, right? More to come …
Dogtooth (Yogros Lanthimos), The Travelling Players (Theo Angelopoulos), Attenberg (Athina Rachel Tsangari), The Red Lanterns (Vasilis Giorgadis), Landscapes in the Midst (Theo Angelopoulos), Eternity and a Day (Theo Angelopoulos)
