The Profile

Greek film director associated with the Greek Weird Wave; director of Attenberg.

Known for minimalist aesthetics, often-awkward performances and association with the 'Greek Weird Wave' movement.

Attenberg is described as a minimalist coming-of-age film set in a grey, post-modern Greece. The review focuses on Marina (23), her relationship with Bella, and her sick father. The film's style and performances are compared to Kynodontas and Miss Violence (Greek Weird Wave). The reviewer highlights sparse dialogue, stark settings (hotel and hospital rooms), and a 'non-negative' ending.
