Perfectly adorable

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

"Interruption" is one of the best film I have seen in last years. Disturbing and mind-blowing game with our habits, myths and democracy in modern world is something very rare those days. Between the philosophical aspects of free choices and ancient therms of destiny the director build a film experience, that cannot be confused with any other films. In this sense the film is a little bit like a classical tragedy. It has the same magnificent weird power like Yorgos Lanthimos famous movies, but it take also a different kind of narrative perspective that makes film unique. Georgios Zois has it's own voice in Greek cinema and I think it will get even stronger.

Interruption is a film taking place in a theatre which scenography is an art installation. It's a masterpiece without any doubts. The film atmosphere is constantly built and viewer is getting more and more curious what is going to happen next. The more we watch the more anxious we get. But still we can't look away, because it's such a beautiful film. Cinematography, editing, sound, acting, every aspect of the film is just perfect. Central composition of shots, shots from audience perspective to suggest to viewer that he's in theatre in the film. So even if we leave the cinema, we would do it as part of the audience. To conclude - this film is intermediality and intertextuality piece of art. Every single aspect of it is built in a very specific and aware way. It's a intellectual, audiovisual, meaningful masterpiece, which shows how modern art can connect and develop different media into one brilliant modern work.

The last movie I saw at the Mumbai Film Fest and for sometime it looked like I would be going out on a high. The movie grips from the beginning, with a modern dramatized interpretation of an ancient Greek myth setting the stage for a takeover by a shadowy group of armed men and women, their mesmerizing leader thrusting himself as the chief orchestrator of events. The play audience is pulled in to the performance, not realizing that the bizarre turn of events was not part of the programmed script. The tension builds up, and you are hoping that the director can pull of a grand denouement. The entire movie theatre was gripped - even in the quiet parts there was no restless stirring or chatter. But in the end it doesn't so much fall flat as just fizzle out. We were left puzzled - who were the hostage takers, what were their motives, what did they hope to achieve by hijacking the play and its audience, was there a personal connection/antagonism with any of the cast members ... It was like the director had a stylish premise, a unique plot device that he hoped to build a movie around, but didn't have the story to back it up. At the end, the tepid applause from a festival audience that gives even mediocre movies a good clap told it all. It was a feeling of deflation, of being let down after a stirring build up, of making a bad choice when what was playing in the next auditorium was possibly the better movie.

'Interruption' is by far the worst film screening at this year's 72nd Venice Film festival. As the movie begins, a man steps onto a theater stage announcing that 'tonight, the audience will make up the characters and story of the performance'. And yet, the film never settles on a choosing what story it wants to tell. A tour-de-force of slow rack focuses, painfully boring moments of silence, and quite awkward false endings. One after the other. It is arrogant in the way it thinks highly of itself- 'artsy' just for the sake of being artsy. It offers no real thoughts or new ideas, yet it demands two hours of the audience's time.I'd respect the film if it was trying to create unique experimental filmmaking. Unfortunately, it's nothing more than a cheap imitation of it. In the movie's final scene, the theater's audience claps loudly at the performers on stage, once the show is over. In the screening room, the lights go up, and the audience leaves in confused silence.
