HAZARDOUS AND UNHEALTHY/ Varea Anthiyiina
Director: Antonis Papadopoulos
Cast: Paschalis Tsarouchas, Nena Mendi,
Antonis Antoniou and Regina Pantelidi
A sharp lesson on the power of myth over history
is provided by this ironic drama about a seedy truck-driver stranded
in a village he once saved from the Nazis. The villagers, thinking
he'd been killed that day, erected a statue to him and have parlayed
his heroic feat into a lucrative local legend. His being alive -
and a bit a scoundrel - blows the whole story, so they lock him
up.
