Angelo

About This Movie

Angelo is a melancholic dive into 90s Athens, a time when everything felt like it was on the edge of change. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the city and the protagonist’s internal struggle. Angelo, this Albanian young man, is caught between his past and the faint glimmers of hope he finds in a chance meeting at the record store. The film's distinctiveness lies in its exploration of identity and belonging, using subtle performances that capture the weight of small moments. It’s raw and intimate, and the practical effects, or lack thereof, ground it in a reality that feels both alien and familiar. It’s a slice of life that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt out of place.
