Pesta... vromostome! (1983) User Reviews

Should read "Pes ta Vromostome"

[dreamingsatyr · 10/10 · 1 December 2004]

This is one of Psaltis best Comedies. An Unforgettable and unforgiving comedy mercilessly targeting fat people, women, pet owners, old people, etc.. in a way only Stathis Psaltis Can. It follows the life of Stathis who is fired from his job and has some adventures looking for a new one. There is a little bit of a love story thrown in as usual for his movies. One memorable scene has Stathis working in his uncle's pastry shop and waiting on an old heavyset woman, who he proceeds to offend in every way imaginable.If you like his films this is Definitely worth Watching over and over again. As far as classic Greek comedies go this one is excellent. I nearly broke a rib laughing the first time I saw this film.

A Must-See Classic

A classic film of the 80s thanks to Stathi Psalti as the straight talking Athenian.

This is an insightful glimpse into Athens: a snapshot which still stands the test of time. Anything and everything is covered: from Athen's smog and pollution, bus strikes, crooked doctors, the bad state of the roads, corrupt priests; all serious subjects that are transformed into pure comedy. Psalti is unforgettable, as he powers through each scene unable to keep his mouth shut in the face of the injustices he sees before him.

Throw in a solid supporting cast, a touching romance and even a song or too and you have the classic 'Pesta Chrisostome' a movie that will have you laughing from beginning to end.
