The Island (2009)
8/10
Brilliant film that combines comedy with the social problems that Greek community deals with
17 June 2023
This film is brilliant. Is one of my favourite Greek movies. The story is about a small Greek Island where a wealthy man dies and is willing to give his money to the teacher, the priest, the mayor and the police officer ("the authorities") of the island. However this will happen only if they accept to be read out loud in front of all the people one letter that the deceased man has written for each on of them. That's how all the fun starts with as all of them have been involved with illegal activities and have many things that don't want to come to light. This event sparks off hilarious reactions and conditions presenting though the ugly side of a small community. It shows what happens behind closed doors and that nobody is who they seem to be with a cosmically way. It's a great comedy film with suspense , action and plot twists that keep the viewer's attention till the end. I highly recommended it.
