The Zeibakiko of Eudokia - Or The "dance" of Eudokia., 15 August 2006
10/10
Author: SEDZ SEDZ from United Kingdom

I consider this movie an interesting experimentation related to love, produced during the years of military coup in Greece.

Images provided by Damianos are excellent. However, you may be deeply disappointed with the actors' performances.

Yet such kind of movies are a unique representation of the Greek symbolic culture.

For instance Damianos for several minutes shows an excursion in the mountain, with characters engaged in a dangerous behavior. A speeding motorbike, a woman in danger to fall from a cliff. But nevertheless the characters survive. Danger is not meant to be the main element, it is meant to be an indication of the false belief of power related to love (my interpretation). Then you may want to extend such phrase to the entire human condition.

The plot is about 2 people, behaving in contradiction to society's norms. One of them, recruited by the army, - a figure with bad connotations during the years of coup in Greece - the other, a prostitute. Again, this movie is not interested in depicting the elite class, but two common people stripped of, of any ideology, any conscious intention, guided primarily by their desires and feelings. Such behavior was bound to be destructive.

In summary, an excellent movie which is not meant to be accepted passively, but to be interpreted. Like similar movies of the period, is meant to unravel a semantic puzzle for you to solve.
