It's All Green to Us
by Michael Gallucci
Greek cinema features some of the wildest stories, characters, and scenes you’ll ever see on the big screen. This weekend’s Cleveland Hellenic Film Festival gives viewers a chance to check out six contemporary comedies and dramas from the country that gave us Yanni. Topping the list is Loafing and Camouflage -- Sirens in the Aegean, a satire about soldiers stationed on a small island. The beauty contestants who become stranded there add to the frothy fun. Also intriguing: Edge of Night, an award-winning coming-of-age story about two kids and their journey across modern-day Greece. Films about reluctant criminals, inspiring teachers, and a crazy, mixed-up couple are included in the mix.
