Antio Verolino (1994)
Sarcasm, minimalism, emotion
Alex, a Greek film director living abroad, actually in Berlin, tries to find a producer for his script and finally goes back to Athens, Greece, to meet a notorious producer called Max Roman. In his trip he meets a lot of strange figures: another German producer Mrs Rohlitsch, ,a star Lenny Caven, a virgin waitress, Max Roman's assistant, his father, even his double. But at the same time, two strangers are following him, confusing Alex with his double.
With a black and white photography, all these uncommon characters and more uncommon locations, filmed in an expressionistic style, Athanitis creates a strange personal world. Sarcasm and minimalism are the main characteristics of his film and also a lot of humor, although finally this is a drama and not a comedy. A notable, elegant film.
