Antigoni Valakou

[deickos · 7/10 · 1 December 2017]

This is a great version of the theatrical play and fortunately with this film will stay with us forever. The cast does an impeccable job, Moridis, Pallis, and of course Fotopoulos as the jester. But whatever to say about Antigoni Valakou will be little. She delivers a monumental performance that has nothing to envy from Hollywood's best moments. Unfortunately European writers like Spiridon Peresiadis of this play and actors like Valakou will always be left aside for the sake of Hollywood.

A great performance

I started watching this a little patronizingly, what with the Greek tsoliades outfits all new and fancy, but the lead actress's genuine emotions took the grin off my face. Her suffering is so great that memories of love gone wrong and hearts I trod on from my own past came back to haunt me. It ended up being almost gruelling.
