The Sainia

About This Movie

So, 'The Sainia' is an interesting blend of absurdity and comedy, with a quirky story revolving around Pelops, played by Nikos Tsouka. The film takes a surreal turn when his deceased brother pops back into the picture, setting off this wild quest for a missing ingredient in his gasoline formula. The pacing is all over the place, which adds to its charm, really. Stathis Psaltis and Antonis Papadopoulos bring a nice dynamic as his friends, trying to battle the ghosts – both literal and metaphorical. It’s got this off-kilter atmosphere that feels distinctly 80s, and the practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have this raw, hands-on quality that’s kind of refreshing. Not your typical comedy, but definitely something you'd want to dig into if you're into the oddities of Greek cinema.
