Akropolis Now

About This Movie

Akropolis Now is a curious blend of road trip comedy and social commentary, set against the backdrop of the Balkans. The film follows two friends who, in their quest to sell American cars in Cairo, stumble into a series of misadventures that test both their friendship and sanity. The pacing has this sort of laid-back charm, and at times, the awkward moments between the characters invite you to chuckle or cringe. The woman who joins them adds an unpredictable layer, as her motives create tension that feels both comical and unsettling. The performances are a mixed bag, but that just adds to its unique vibe—like watching a quirky indie from a bygone era. It's definitely an oddity that stands out in the comedy genre.
