Zavlakoma

About This Movie

Zavlakoma is a quirky blend of comedy, fantasy, and music that captures a specific summer vibe in Thessaloniki. The film feels like a nostalgic trip, weaving a narrative that’s both whimsical and intimate, almost like watching a fever dream unfold. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it complements the offbeat atmosphere. Practical effects are used creatively, adding a tangible feel to the fantastical elements. Performances are refreshingly raw, with a kind of honest awkwardness that resonates. It’s not just about the plot, but the mood - an ode to summer that makes you want to dive into the city’s pulse, especially if you have an affinity for Fiona Apple’s unique style. It’s an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
