And the First Matakias

About This Movie

So, 'And the First Matakias' is this quirky little gem from '82, leaning heavily into the absurdity of its premise. You’ve got this voyeuristic character, Simos, who works at a hotel, and things take a wild turn when a gang of attractive burglars decides to target the hotel’s safe. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to the chaotic feel, and the comedy is quite slapstick in nature but with some clever twists. The performances from the all-female gang are particularly notable, bringing a certain charm and charisma to their roles that really contrasts with Simos's bumbling nature. It's not groundbreaking, but it captures a unique blend of hotel hijinks and voyeuristic humor that sticks with you.
