Review of Psyhi vathia

Psyhi vathia (2009)
3/10
Maintaining an equal distance is not the way...

While not bad an effort, by Greek cinema standards, I would expect a more deep approach from Voulgaris, who has a great legacy. Keeping an equal distance from both the Democratic Army of Greece (former EAM members who had shed their blood en masse fighting against the Nazis and their local collaborators) and the National Army (guided by British and American imperialists) is a distortion of history. Equating the victim with the perpetrator (the partisans had been persecuted, murdered and imprisoned by the thousands for two years before the start of the Civil War) is an insult to those people. At least, it is the only Greek movie, so far, that demonstrates some of the atrocities the Americans committed (napalm bombs etc) to support the monarchofascists.
