This was not just a movie. I cannot separate the film from the movie-going experience, because I felt something I have not felt in a long time. It is very rare these days that you feel a sense of community within strangers, and that is the feeling that overcame me yesterday. An acceptance and warmth, and a common purpose that I have only felt in the culmination of great movie franchises.
The movie itself was a masterpiece. Cinematography is truly a masterclass by Alexandros Karpas, and in combination with the Oscar-worthy sound design, emerges you fully in the depths of the protagonists' psyches.
The Voras mountain serves as a third protagonist, the setting if you will, for this purgatory, out of earth place, our leads are trapped in.
Sakis Karpas' performance is 100% cinematic, whilst Foteini Levogianni's, although truly top-notch, I felt was a bit theatrical at times, but again carries the film.
It is really hard to believe this is indeed the work of 6 people. Hollywood productions with 600 people crews produce results that do not come close to this.
A love film to their homeland, a part of their souls.
