The Shepherds of Calamity
Why we chose it
Yorgos Lanthimos' favourite film, shot just before the rise of the dictatorship, spoke through its history and frames about exactly how Greece at the time was a society that favoured the rise of dictatorship. A unique film for Greek cinema of the era, unmissable to this day.
Synopsis
A poor shepherd, Thanos, falls in love with a beautiful noblewoman, Despina, who is the daughter of Vlachopoulos, the lord of the region. Her father, naturally, categorically refuses to give his daughter to a side-child and tries to marry her off to Yago, the son of a big landowner. Thanos and Despina elope and flee to the mountains, pursued by a detachment of gendarmes and by Yago who, deeply offended, seeks revenge.
