Plots(1)
A defunct Greek resort town, inhabited during the off-season by migrant workers. In this drab off-season resort town, Lanthimos studies the cryptic activities of an inscrutable trio (a policeman, a photographer, and a hotel maid) who barely speak and who pass the time by staging reenactments of murders. (Second Run)

Prioritize:
A curiosity. Almost 140 minutes of consistently pointless movement of characters and cameras in a resort after the season is over. Kinetics of ruin and boredom. Bizarre choreography, crazy behavior and a type obsessed with control and a description of the world. Everything that Lanthimos brings to perfection in the next film. This is a kind of raw "grinding" of poetics. ()
