Magic Hour

Greek Film: Magic Hour - Chicago, IL - Mar 9th & 11th, 2013
2011, Costas Kapakas, Greece, 95 min.

With Renos Haralambidis, Tasos Andoniou

In one of the funniest and most bitingly satirical Greek films in years, director Kapakas (PEPPERMINT) tackles subjects ranging from a sad-sack husband’s broken heart to the Greek financial crisis. One night of refuge in a hot-sheets motel propels naïve cuckold Aristidis to the eye-opening odyssey of his life, tearing through the countryside in a dilapidated hearse in the company of Diomidis, on-the-run desk clerk and moonlighting undertaker. In Greek with English subtitles.
