Things have been weird in Greek cinema for a while now thanks to the rise of Yorgos Lanthimos and his ilk but they're about to get weird in a whole new way with the arrival of Yiannis Veslemes' Karlovy Vary selected, period set vampire picture
Norway.
It's 1984 and pleaure-seeking vampire Zano arrives in Athens. The
party's in full flow and things look promising but, as the evening wears
on, Zano finds himself involved in an elaborate plot and ultimately has
to make a tough decision: whether to compromise his ideals or risk his
life. Using elements of steampunk in its artistic stylisation, the film
could be taken as both a bizarre game or a scathing commentary on the
situation in contemporary Greece.
Hugely stylized and theatrical the trailer for this looks like a big heap of fun. Check it out below.
