Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nikos Nikolaidis was Greece's enfant terrible, and this remains his most internationally recognized provocation—screened at Cannes 'Un Certain Regard' to walkouts and devotion in equal measure.
The film was shot in just 21 days in a single Athens location, with Nikolaidis reportedly feeding cast members their lines moments before takes to maintain that dreamlike disorientation.
