Best movie of this year hands down!

Just perfect...

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Nick Perakis is undoubtedly one of my favorites Greek directors (if not the most favorite one). Thiliki Eteria is definitely one of his most under-appreciated works.I hold this movie as a folklore study. It is not a movie about sex, or about Greeks and sex. It is a movie about some small Greek town (population around 30-60 thousand) and about its inhabitants. A multitude of people/roles appear on this movie. Both the hotshots: the TV-"mogul" (small town style of course :-) ), the newspaper publisher, the representative (senator/MP), the archimandrite (high cleric, below bishop) and the "low-lifes": the soldier, the gym-owner, the loan shark, the private-eye and a few more. With them, their wives and their mistresses. Yes. Sex is all-around. Yes. Sex is depicted (male homosexuality appears as well, albeit no female one...) Yes, a sex scandal is where it all revolves around. Still. I don't see this movie as just the depiction of a sex scandal in a small Greek town. I actually see it as the most realistic depiction of both that (for the Greeks, remember all those pink villas that come up in the news, once in Argos, another time in Larisa and so on) and of the social interactions in the "high" echelons of such a city. Personally, after seeing this movie, I claimed that I finally understood (or at least got a glimpse) of how these things work.Furthermore, Perakis shows his ability in picking actors that really fill the characters. Much like Loufa kai Parallagi 2, I cannot really discern whether all these actors/actresses are that good, or whether the characters were made for them.This is a very entertaining satire. You will not laugh like in Safe Sex, but it will keep a smile in your face. Finally, expect some sort of a crime story to lurch in the background. Much like in real life :-)

A fistful of ladies playing cards, thinking of sex and using the "F" word every second. What's funny in that stuff? I do not understand. I saw this film and felt bored. The material isn't bad at all, but the script chooses the easy way to make us laugh: bad language, lust for the younger, homosexual caricature. Performances could be O.K. but the ladies feel uncomfortable to speak out the lines and the characters look pretty phoney.

After the great success of 'Safe sex' comes a rather good movie that will not enjoy the same number of tickets as the aforementioned one.Comedy is a hard kind.Women searching for ex-spouse relations in a fast environment with language idioms that will make the spectator trying to follow.Major elements:a small city near the sea,a gymnastics center,web presence,a hidden camera,blackmail,sexual mess,a newspaper director with his cigar,a bulldozer fleet owner,a hairdressing saloon with a gay hairdresser.The movie will convince that sex is torturing under these uncontrolled circumstances and someone has to define the meaning of love.

I saw this film a couple of days ago and I am still thinking about it.It was just great.I had to laugh so much with a movie for such a long time.The only argument I have about it is that there are a lot of "bad" words.I don't mind(I'm old enough),but for teenagers it is not so good(Not that teenagers don't use these words). If you are from Greece then go see it. Go spend two hours in a cinema.You wont regret it.Note(In Greek):ÁÎÉÆÅÉ ÔÁ ËÅÖÔÁ ÔÇÓ.ÊÁÉ Å×ÅÉ ÐÏËËÕ ÃÅËÉÏ
