“Pressure” Puts on the Pressure
Pressure is an unambiguously great movie, lead by convincing performances, a well-crafted script, good direction, and at least some social awareness.
All of us, efendi
A glimpse of the Greek Civil War, which followed soon after the end of WW2, as it was experienced in the remote and rather peculiar island of Ikaria. After the defeat of the Democratic Army of Greece on Samos island, several men attempt to escape certain death at the hands of the Greek government. The loose film plot does incorporate many local stories and legends from that dark period, as well as older tales.
