Eleven years after the successful “Apo ta kokala vgalmena”, Sotiris Goritsas is back with a new film based on the novel “Where We Live” by Christos Kitreotis (published by Pataki). The protagonist here is Antonis Spetsiotis (Prometheus Aliferopoulos), a 35-year-old lawyer who starts his birthday in Evelpidon and ends it early in the morning, after adventures, in a farmhouse in Halkoutsi and a luxurious villa in Aliarto. Through all this, the young man will reconsider his relationship with his somewhat estranged father (Stelios Mainas), as well as his life in general. Goritsas signs one of his usual stories, where social observations and satire are combined with a personal element. In fact, the latter is much more intense here, and the father-son story is probably the most interesting element of the film. This, of course, does not mean that there is no first pleasant part devoted to the daily paranoia of Greek justice and its caricatures. Finally, of particular note is the brilliant performance of Prometheus Aliferopoulos, who manages to fill his character with this vague melancholy of the crisis generation in a film that usually moves in this direction without, however, giving up its lightness.

The Australian cop thriller by Thomas M. Wright relies mainly on the atmosphere, but also on the very good acting of the main duo. Henry (Sean Harris) moves to the west of the country in search of a better life and is in serious financial trouble. Through a friendly man he meets on the plane, he is introduced to Mark (Joel Egerton), who offers him a job without question. The two would eventually strike up an unusual friendship while working for a local crime organization. However, all is not as it seems. The double play of two heroes is here the axis around which a rather interesting thriller is built, somewhat reminiscent of Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners, but without its exciting pace.

Bruno Dimon’s new film (The Van Petegems) attempts to introduce us to the glamorous yet deeply action-packed world of television, which is lucky enough to have a star of the stature of Lea Seydoux at its disposal. The latter plays the almost equally famous broadcaster Frans, who is also an active war correspondent. However, a car accident will ruin her glorious everyday life, as her personal life will now be in the spotlight. Dimon sets out to create a vitriolic satire of fake TV idols and succeeds to some extent, but script holes and overly long running time probably give him away. Before the film, a short film “Iota Telia Omega (I. OH.)” by Alexis Alexiou will be screened.

A film is coming out of Palestine, which tells about the underground war that is being waged between the Israeli secret services and the resistance forces. In Bethlehem, Reem, a young mother with a jealous husband, finds herself in a desperate situation when her hairdresser, a secret informant for Israeli agents, traps her by exposing her honor. A gripping thriller and personal drama at the same time, Abu Assad’s film has an authentic feel and suspense despite its modest means.

The already stylish Josh Duhamel stars in the true story of the legendary bank robber who hit 59 targets in Canada in the 1980s, with a dedicated police team on his trail.
