| Movie Haiku: | Greek middle-class family copes with sudden tragedy. Story’s told from the perspective of young Elias (Karayannis), who communicates more about his parent’s relationship than he actually understands. Beautifully retrained, with no distracting melodrama. Tsirigouli (Elias’s mother) & Stergioglou (Elias’s uncle) are especially touching, bearing their adult responsibilities with sad-eyed grace. | ADDITIONAL FF2 INFO ABOUT THIS FILM: | Women filmmakers? | No | Jewish content? | No | Haiku Posted: | 2004 | |
