Greek cinema has undergone a major resurgence in recent years and the latest Greek title to hit a major film festival is Alexandros Avranas' Venice selected
Miss Violence.
On the day of her birthday, eleven-year-old Angeliki jumps off the
balcony and falls to her death with a smile on her face. While the
police and Social Services try to discover the reason for this apparent
suicide, Angeliki's family keep insisting that it was an accident. What
is the secret that young Angeliki took with her? Why does her family
persist in trying to "forget" her and to move on with its life? These
are the answers that the people from Social Services look for when they
visit the family's clean and orderly home. The father has made sure
nothing is missing and that everything is where it belongs. It seems as
if nothing can betray them. But Angeliki's younger brother
unintentionally reveals clues which will gradually shatter the family's
well polished world, forcing them to come face to face with that which,
for so many years, they have been hiding or could not bear to see. One
by one they will break down, until finally violence will once again
offer the solution, keeping the family united and the secret safe.
The trailer for this one is freshly arrived online and looks very, very good. Take a look below.
