Greek Salad (2023– )
8/10
Greek Salad indeed ...
24 October 2023
But this one has many ingredients whereas a Greek salad is often tomato feta olives raw onion lettuce etc .... here we have many more ingredients Refugees Asylum-seekers family secrets Erasmus students EU youth Trans issues Me-Too MDMA ..... basically we have a 360° extended snapshot of 20-somethings in 2023

It seems nothing has been left out ... the lingua franca is English but then we hear a lot of other languages and that is very well-done

The acting from all of the main players is totally excellent. Never bored never boring just a tad ham-fisted at times with the kaleidoscope of themes and "issues"

I saw Romain (that smile) Duris was in the cast and that almost stopped me from watching it. But he was just peripheral here ....

It is really about EU Youth educated student folks and tangentially about refugees plight

Excellently made. The Greeks here are a tad caricatural but Athens looks really good here; a tad shredded but stylish.
