Worlds Apart (2015)

In a restless Athens against the backdrop of Greece’s socio-economic collapse,
three vivid stories of intercultural romance intertwine, depicting the turmoil and the inner sadness of a country amid a
ceaseless explosion of immigration and financial meltdown. In this
colourful triptych of love, the Syrian refugee, Farris, saves a damsel
in distress, the idealist college student, Daphne, as a seemingly
endless wave of fervent nationalism spreads in town. Then, in the
following segment, Giorgos, an unhappily-married, pill-popping sales
manager, delves deep into an unexpected affair with Elise, the frigidly
beautiful Scandinavian corporate executive. Finally, Maria, a wistful
Greek housewife whose family is struggling to keep afloat, has a fateful
encounter with the retired German expatriate, Sebastian, who offers
Maria a second chance in love before the well-stocked aisles of a local
supermarket. In the end, can love transcend all barriers?

Mondomanila (2010)

Εικόνα
A joyfully outrageous slice of life in the slums set to a punky soundtrack, Mondomanila is a slap in the face of Western expectations of politely miserabilist depictions of the downtrodden. A hyper kinetic, super stylised wild carnival of the destitute, it follows a midget, a one-armed rapper, a ‘day-glo fairy’, a disabled pimp and their friends as they try to get as much sex and drugs as they can (‘the only solution to their problems’, we are told by main character Tony at the beginning) and tackle a racist white paedophile. A toothless showman opens this exuberant bad taste spectacle, promising something horrible and creepy, but the Mondo-style shockumentary aspect is underpinned by the crude reality of life in Manila, making the film vital and energising.

 Polyester is a 1981 comedy film directed, produced, and written by John Waters, and starring Divine, Tab Hunter, Edith Massey, and Mink Stole.
