Soul Kicking
- Yannis Economides
- 2006
- 1h 51m
- Greece, Cyprus
Troubled in its time by the distribution circuit, extremely but unexpectedly pop after years, "Soul Kicking" was the film that showed even more than the others that Economides could create his own unique universe, a cinema that would be hard to find its counterpart in Greece.
Synopsis
Takis is a middle-aged craft worker, divorced, remarried and with a newborn baby. With pressures from everywhere. No one leaves him alone. His wife, his employer, his relatives, his friends. Violence and oppression. Verbal, mental, physical. All against one and God against all. The lit fuse is several yards from the gunpowder. But in the end it reaches it.
