Crossing Europe

Correction

1 hr. 27 min. | Drama | N/A

Referencing Ulysses's mythic meandering and the contemporary realities of immigration, xenophobia and hooliganism, director Thanos Anastopoulos crafts a subtle yet haunting portrait of a broken man. Yorgos, released from prison, wanders Athens from the half-way house to place that seem familiar to him, yet remain as enigmatic as his past. A woman and her daughter are objects of his fascination, but by a predator or merely cohabitants of a conflict-ridden society. "Correction" is a journey through urban chaos and responsibility.
