And It Flies... And It Lies

About This Movie

And It Flies... And It Lies is quite the oddball from '88, featuring this bigamist pilot, Alexis Tompras, who juggles two wives across Greece. You’ve got this comedic tension brewing as he flits between Thessaloniki and Athens, where his second wife belts out tunes. The pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes it drags, especially when diving into domestic troubles, but it has its moments of charm. The performances are what really stand out; you can feel that underlying desperation mixed with humor. The atmosphere is light, yet there’s this weight of secrecy that hangs around. Not your typical rom-com fare, but that’s what makes it feel distinct in a way. It's a curious piece, reflecting on fidelity with a comedic twist.
