If you're Greek, I'm sure you know the infamous zeibekiko, written for the movie by Manos Loizos. But the rest of the movie remains hardly known to the big public. Since recently, it was impossible to get a copy from the movie. A newspaper gave it on DVD and so some of us were able to see it, finally. It was worth it.
Alexis Damianos, the director, has only directed three movies. His job in "Evdokia" is excellent. It's realism, but with a great deal of naturalism. It's a story of love, between a young prostitute and a soldier. Their relationship is based on sex -the erotic scenes are rather brutal- and the general spirit of the movie isn't very pleasant. The wild nature that surrounds the characters justifies the cause: It's a hard life, and the thin line between love and death is hardly visible. The most memorable scene, after all, is the one of the excursion in the wild nature. The heroes play with death so easily, as if he didn't matter. Remember: It's the dictatorship-era in Greece (1967-1974).
You might be disappointed by the performances -she's OK, he's really awful, except from the one by K. Agagiotou -she plays an old prostitute. The sound dubbing is also notably bad. But, let's be cool for a moment, it's still the 70s, and this is a really low-budget effort. I think it's at least a very good token of what Greek cinematography could have been, if the circumstances hadn't been the same.
