Η "Ιστορία 52" στο Τορόντο IFF


Έλαβα σήμερα από την TUGO TUGO Productions ένα Δελτίο Τύπου για την προβολή της αγαπημένης μου ταινίας "Ιστορία 52" στο TIFF 2008. To αναδημοσιεύω:

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it,
doesn’t go away.”
Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

Somewhere between the lines of a psychological drama and a fantasy thriller, TALE 52, the first film by the 32 year old writer/producer and director Alexis Alexiou, is a bizarre tale about the end and the beginning of an affair.

The journey of TALE 52 after Toronto will continue to a constantly rising number of festivals including SITGES, Reykiavik IFF, Montreal (Nouveau Cinema), Warsaw IFF, Sao Paulo IFF, Stockholm IFF, to name just a few.

International sales of the film are handled by the Berlin-based company M-appeal (www.m-appeal.com, contact: berlinoffice@m-appeal.com).

For more information please refer to the film’s official website:

The director Alexis Alexiou and Brigit Haugg from M-appeal will both be present at Toronto from Sept 4 to 11 and Sept. 3 to 10 respectively. They can be reached at:

kai mia kritiki gia ton megalo skinotheti kai to aristourgimatiko ergo tou
Tale 52 (Alexis Alexiou, Greece) [5]

Shortly after posting my capsule review on El Greco, a critic friend of mine sent me an email with the final line of the above review, with the subject line, "get ready to copy and paste." Tale 52 is a perfect example of what he was warning me about, since in and of itself it's a film that has no real business being in a festival, short of maybe San Jose Cinequest or some other mid-level slick-indie enclave. It's more of an advertisement for Alexiou than a film in and of itself.

Γούστα είναι αυτά, είπε ο Άβερελ Ντάλτον και δάγκωσε το σαπούνι.
Δεν αλλάζει το σχόλιο σου την προσωπική μου γνώμη για την ταινία.
Σέβομαι την φιλμογραφία σας κύριε "David Lynch" αλλά το σχόλιο σας μάλλον "Lynch Law" θυμίζει...
