Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Rare export of 1980s Greek cinema's 'New Wave'—barely distributed outside festivals, making every print a small miracle.

Insight

Panousopoulos allegedly shot the apartment interiors in his own Athens flat, meaning Haris's gaze carries the director's literal perspective.
