Well, just finished watching it. On the plus side is the beautiful cinematography, the young, handsome actors, the palpable chemistry they create and the promise for the great things to come from this director.

The director obviously had something on his mind, but much like an escape artist with too many…

Our never-ending struggle to evade, avoid and "forget" memory and negative feelings is presented here with sharp humour ("Does anyone know who Batman is?") and the usual exrpession-lacking, deadpan faces of he protagonists that the New Greek Wave has taught us to expect. Forgetting everything and having to start anew with the help of the "State" or the "Authority" takes center-stage in the film 's plot and thought-provoking questions like "what would…
