I was very much amazed when i first saw this movie...It been so long since I watched a Greek movie using so bold images to present itself.I was even more amazed when I heard that it was actually presented with an Oscar nomination.I love it but I understand that it is not the type of movie that could easily have the wide recognition required for that.
Anyway as a whole this movie is a strict statement against manipulation and isolation that authority usually imposes on the people. Weather someone wants to interpret that on a society or family scale it doesn't really matter for the results and characteristics are the same. Although since I grew up in Greece i believe that that movie wants to focus on the outdated traditional Greek family values that for some reason still survive in many cases. The original motive of protecting the children leads to isolation, lies, manipulation, corruption and the creation of a world that makes twisted, incomplete individuals of both the parents and the children.
This is a highly symbolic film that uses exaggerated, harsh images and stories to get its opinion out clearly. Whoever tries to interpret the events of this film literally and tries to find realistic motives in the characters will fail miserably. It is over the top and crazy and weird exactly because it wants the show how unnatural this kind of relationships truly are.
For me it was brilliant!It will not be appealing to all people for sure but if any of you find what I describe interesting just go and see it for yourself.
