Attenberg(2010)

 

2010 – 95 Minutes – Not Rated – In Greek with English SubtitlesX+

Greece’s Official Entry for the Academy Awards®, Attenbergis a wonderfully deadpan, surprisingly touching coming-of-age story. 23-year-old Marina lives in a small, factory town by the sea where she passes her time watching Sir David Attenborough’s nature programs, listening to the proto-punk songs of Suicide, goofing with her only friend Bella, and tending to her ailing father. When a visiting engineer comes to town, the two form a tentative relationship that pushes Marina into contact with the strange and complex world of adulthood. Critically acclaimed, Attenbergis a sincere and humorous look at life’s defining moments. Attenberg is directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari and stars Ariane Labed (winner Best Actress Venice International Film Festival), Vangelis Mourikis, Evangelia Randou, Yorgos Lanthimos (Academy Award®-nominated Dogtooth director). Attenbergwas the official selection at Sundance Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, San Francisco International Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, New Directors/New Films Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, AFI Film Festival.
