Ακόμα κι αν το κυοφορούμενο ον είναι ένας ξένος θεός που απειλεί την έννομη ζωή. Στην ταινία αυτή ο Πανουσόπουλος επιμένει στην ανάγκη ρήξεων με την καθημερινότητα, στην ανάγκη αναζήτησης της υπέρβασης, στην απενοχοποίηση αισθημάτων, σκέψεων και πράξεων, στην απενοχοποίηση του φαντασιακού. Η Μανία επίσης εγγράφεται στην παράδοση του ελληνικού κινηματογράφου, που έχει ξεκινήσει από τον Τζαβέλλα και τον Κακογιάννη, της επαναδιαπραγμάτευσης ενός αρχαίου μύθου – εδώ τις Βάκχες. Μόνο που ο Πανουσόπουλος πηγαίνει ένα βήμα πιο μπροστά. Παίρνοντας ελευθερίες από την τραγωδία χρησιμοποιεί το μύθο και τον μεταμορφώνει προσπαθώντας να συνδεθεί με το Ιερό. Ο Πανουσόπουλος είναι ένας σκηνοθέτης της εμμονής, με πλούσιο φαντασιακό κι αλάνθαστο ένστικτο, που καταφέρνει να μας συγκινεί επειδή απευθύνεται στο συλλογικό ασυνείδητο.

Παραλληλισμοί σχετικά με τις "Βάκχες" του Ευριπίδη:
"Δεν υπάρχει πρόσωπο στο έργο που δεν θα μεταμορφωθεί, ο ίδιος ο θεός μεταμορφώνεται από ζώο σε θνητό, ο Πενθέας από βασιλιάς γίνεται μαινάδα, ηδονοβλεψίας, αδύναμο παιδί, ελάφι σφάγιο".

Will they ever become one?Ο Γιώργος Πανουσόπουλος που στους Απέναντι βρίσκεται μόλις στην δεύτερη ταινία του αντλεί από βιώματα και οράματα προσωπικά του και τα υλοποιεί με ενάργεια. Περιγράφει τη «σύντομη συνάντηση» δύο ανθρώπων από δύο διαφορετικούς κόσμους. Από τη μια ο τρελός, ρέμπελος, προκλητικός κόσμος των «καμικάζι» και των «μηχανάκηδων», που αντιδρά με το δικό του τρόπο στο «κατεστημένο», από την άλλη ο κατασταλαγμένος σε μια άχρωμη, νεκρωμένη ζωή κόσμος των βολεμένων. Μόνος τρόπος συνάντησης και επαφής τους το τηλεσκόπιο, που μόνο αυτό μπορεί να καλύψει τα δεκάδες έτη φωτός και τα εκατό μέτρα που τους χωρίζουν. Ποιος απ’ τους δυο θα περάσει απέναντι; Μα σίγουρα η 35άρα γυναίκα που τη μαγνητίζει η ζωή που μαντεύει στον κόσμο του νυχτόβιου 20άρη. Όμως, και γι’ αυτόν η συνάντηση θα γίνει η έξοδος απ’ τη νύχτα του, στο φως και την ελπίδα.
Έργο ποιητικό, μέσα στον σκληρό ρεαλισμό του, η ταινία κρύβει πολλή τρυφερότητα κάτω από την τραχιά επιφάνεια της. Πείθει και κατακτά με την αδρή απεικόνιση των δύο κόσμων που κάνει αναγκαία και φυσική την συνάντηση των δύο προσώπων που τους αντιπροσωπεύουν αλλά και τους αρνούνται, προσβλέποντας με το σμίξιμό τους σε μια άλλη, πιο ανθρώπινη πραγματικότητα.
Αντώνη Μοσχοβάκη - DirectorGiorgos PanousopoulosStarsAndreas BarkoulisBetty LivanouGiorgos KonstasAn admirer of women falls from the balcony and dies while trying to see a woman sunbathing in the nude. In the moments before his death, all his erotic memories pass before his eyes.Είναι η πιο καλή ταινία μου, γιατί διασκέδασα πολύ όταν την έκανα. ’λλωστε έγινε για να περάσω εγώ καλά: Να κάνω κάτι που δεν θα λογαριάσω καθόλου τον θεατή, κάτι που να αρέσει σε μένα και είχα σεναριογράφο τον Σωτήρη τον Κακίση. Κι αυτός είναι ποιητής. Κι επειδή οι ποιητές, αντίθετα με ότι πιστεύει ο κόσμος συνήθως, ενδιαφέρονται για την ουσία και όχι για την σάλτσα, δεν με άφησε ποτέ να παρασυρθώ από σκέψεις όπως '"μήπως η δομή του έργου .", "μήπως δεν δένει ." κ.λπ. Μου 'λέγε "Μη φοβάσαι, θα συμπληρωθεί μόνο του παζλ, μόνα τους θα δέσουν όλα". Και παρ' όλο που ήταν ανίδεος από σινεμά ο Σωτήρης, κι εγώ υποτίθεται ειδικός, βγήκε σωστός. Κι αυτό γιατί είναι πιο κοντά μου αυτή η ταινία απ' όλες τις άλλες, και είναι η μόνη που μπορώ τώρα να δω στο σινεμά...
Οι ταινίες μου όλες ασχολούνται με την επιφάνεια των πραγμάτων και μόνο μ' αυτή. Το θέμα είναι πόσο διαφανής είναι αυτή η επιφάνεια. Μπορείς να βλέπεις από μέσα ή είναι αδιαφανής; Στο Μ' αγαπάς; ας πούμε μένει κάποιος στο ότι το έργο δείχνει γυμνό βλέπει πίσω απ' αυτό και αναρωτιέται γιατί γίνεται αυτό; Εκεί υπήρξε και η παρεξήγηση με την κριτική, απ' την οποία χτυπήθηκε αρκετά η ταινία και εδώ και έξω. Στην Βενετία όπου πήγε, την χτύπησαν εξίσου οι καθολικοί και οι κουλτουριάρηδες. Έκανα λοιπόν και μια ανακάλυψη. Οι καθολικοί και οι κουλτουριάρηδες ..είναι το ίδιο. Το κοινό τους σημείο είναι ότι χωρίζουνε το σώμα και το πνεύμα. Το θέμα είναι όμως ότι αυτά δεν χωρίζονται.
Έτσι μία ταινία ερωτική γι' αυτούς, ή θα έχει σχέση με τη βία, με κάποιο κακό πράγμα, εξ ου κι ο ορισμός "ταινίες βίας και σεξ" - ποιος διεστραμμένος συνέδεσε την βία με το σεξ και γιατί;- διότι αυτοί έτσι αντιλαμβάνονται το σεξ, ως βίαιο πράγμα. Αν όμως δεν έχει τέτοια, είναι απλά σεξ χωρίς βία, τότε είναι πορνό. Στην ίδια λέξη για το σεξ και τον έρωτα, λέμε έρωτας. Εσείς λετε love και sex ή amore και sex. Είναι όλοι τους Δυτικοί, είναι τα παιδιά του πουριτανισμού, τα παιδιά της [Βασίλισσας] Βικτωρίας: το σώμα είναι "βρώμικο" και το πνεύμα "καθαρό". - DirectorGiorgos PanousopoulosStarsStavros XenidisAleka PaiziBetty LivanouA retired couple spends its vacation at a spa town. Their also retired friends see life with a different eye. Some believe that the future does not reserve anything important for them and others seek love and try to live every moment.ΤΟ ΤΑΞΙΔΙ ΤΟΥ ΜΕΛΙΤΟΣ
[Τότε] Δεν είχα καμία πρόθεση να γίνω σκηνοθέτης. Έξι μόλις μήνες πριν κάνω το Ταξίδι ούτε καν σκεπτόμουν κάτι τέτοιο.
[Οι κριτικοί] Δεν καταλάβαιναν γιατί ένα θέμα, τόσο περίεργο με γέρους, δεν ήξεραν που να την κατατάξουν (κι εγώ δεν τους βοήθησα σ' αυτό). Τι είναι τώρα αυτή η ταινία: τέχνης, αποτυχημένη κωμωδία, τι; Υπήρχε αμηχανία ακόμη και στις φάτσες των κριτικών που την είδαν. Μου λέγανε: "Μα αυτοί είναι μικροαστοί". Τους απαντούσα: "Ναι". Μα επιτρέπεται, λέγανε τότε, να ασχολούμαστε με μια τάξη που έχει πεθάνει. Κατάλαβες, που ήταν τα μυαλά των ανθρώπων τότε. Η μικροαστική τάξη, λεει, πέθανε. Εδώ κοντεύει να μας πιει το αίμα ... - DirectorNikos KoundourosStarsMarina VladyEleonora StathopoulouVasilis LaggosIn 1897 Crete, as the armies of the Great Powers jockey for position, the French madam, Rosa Bonaparte, arrives in Chania escorted by twelve of her girls to start a brothel.

GiannakopoulosOn 24 November 2006 Papaioannou premiered 2 in Pallas Theater in Athens, his first work following his creative direction of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. 2 was produced in collaboration with the electronic music composer K.BHTA for the production company Elliniki Theamaton. A "dissection of the male psyche", the production commanded a large of amount of Greek press attention, not least for its open references to homosexuality. 2 proved a commercial success; its run was extended twice and over 100,000 tickets were sold in total. The work seems to draw upon a range of influences, including the work of Jean Genet, Rene Magritte and Robert Wilson. Inspiration for the show also came partly from Papaioannou's experiences as a gay man in Greece. Contemporary magazine described 2 as an "inspiring" work that "captures the zeitgeist". A DVD of 2, produced for the screen by Athina Rachel Tsangari of HAOS Films, was released on 11 December 2007 by Elliniki Theamaton and Modern Times.

- DirectorThanasis RentzisStarsFaidon GeorgitsisMarili TsopanelliFilippos SofianosPivoting around the eternal dipole of man/woman, masculinity/femininity, this experimental film delves deep into the realm of sexuality and eroticism.Ο Ηλεκτρικός Άγγελος (1981) του Θανάση Ρεντζή ξεκινά με μια φανταχτερή εικόνα ενός πολύχρωμου αγγέλου, μιας Αφροδίτης (;) δίχως χέρια, αλλά με κόκκινα φτερά, που μ’ αινιγματικές προθέσεις πλησιάζει αγέρωχα τον θεατή λίγο πριν εξαφανιστεί στο μαύρο φόντο. Η σεξουαλικότητα, ο ερωτισμός, ίσως κι ο έρωτας, είναι το θέμα της πέμπτης ταινίας του πρωτοπόρου Έλληνα σκηνοθέτη (προηγούνται το Μαύρο+Άσπρο [1973], η Βιο-Γραφία [1975], το Fiction [1977] και το Corpus [1979]), ο οποίος πειραματίζεται με πλειάδα ετερόκλητων υλικών, συναρμόζοντάς τα υπό την σκέπη μιας οπτικής εμπειρίας που προ(σ)καλεί τις ελεύθερες συνάψεις, τους τολμηρούς ειρμούς, αλλά και την καταβύθιση στην πρότερη εμπειρία μιας ενστιγματικής κατάστασης. Γιατί όμως ηλεκτρικός; Τα κύματα στα πόδια του αγγέλου μοιάζουν φτιαγμένα από ψηφιακούς κόκκους. Είναι λοιπόν αυτή μια προσπάθεια συνάντησης του σύγχρονου κόσμου με τις εξιδανικευμένες μορφές του αρχαϊκού; Μια «ιστορία του ερωτισμού» που επιχειρεί να συνταιριάξει την αρχαιολογία και την Ιστορία της Σεξουαλικότητας του Μισέλ Φουκώ, με τη μεταφυσική και τον Ερωτισμό του Ζωρζ Μπατάιγ, σ’ ένα ποιητικο-δοκιμιακό κολάζ-μοντάζ εικόνων; Είναι πιθανό επίσης η πηγή της ηλεκτροφόρησης του πτεροφόρου πλάσματος να αναζητείται και κάπου πέρα από την τεχνολογία, ακόμα και απ’ αυτήν του κινηματογράφου.

It consists of seven parts, each one presenting an ideotype of the human body, from the beginning of civilization up to the present time. The body as a concept or dogma is simply the embodied reflection of every civilization, upon which man himself is established. The anthropomorphism that characterizes the sum total of perception, in a clear or latent state, comes from the fact that the human body, as reality, idea and expression, comprises the ultimate reference.

- DirectorStratos TzitzisStarsGogo BrebouYorgos ChraniotisNikos Georgakis5 Greeks gather in a house, in Athens, where a familiar person of theirs died. Trapped in the house while the city centre bursts into chaos and disorder, they cannot agree on how to bury the corpse. Meanwhile, the heat makes the situation oppressive. But they still insist on their differences. The corpse starts decomposing, their relationship is being tested and secrets are revealed. Nothing will be the same again within a few hours. "Ashes" is a hidden allegory about the crisis in Greece. With the excuse of an extreme situation, dealing with a death, and with a sense of black humour, versions of the crisis are introduced and represented by the 5 characters of the film and... the dead one.
