Plot – Spoilers:
A filthy apartment serves as a dystopian brothel where three women serve time as dom prostitutes. A government official drops by from time to time to make sure they’re given their shots and are earning as prescribed. A fourth woman joins them and is initially quick to remind everyone she’s only passing through and will be gone soon. But it seems inevitable she’ll be soon institutionalized.
All the women there have been turned barren, though it’s suggested some might have been used to produce experimental offspring in the past. The women’s inability to ever bear kids haunts them in different ways. One of them is sure she’s pregnant, and every few months, drags the others through a ritual of birth simulation. Then there’s another who has a bizarre relationship with the kids she claims to see through her binoculars as they emerge out of a gutter opposite her apartment. She flashes her tits at them, but on other occasions is assaulted by them in a manner that is suggested to be sexual. With food and water scarce, getting an egg broken on their tits is for some reason a punishment they dread, and yet, in keeping with the insanity of the place, they are also turned on by it.
From the director of Singapore Sling, this is less effedup, but more political. There’s plenty anyone can take from it depending on what they’re experiencing in life. Or it could just be a political commentary on how ideologies merely hoodwink you into ironically yielding your life to the very thing you detest.
Wish i was sterile.Kids are a burden and ruin your life.
No not at all, you could make quite a bit of money if you sell them to me, Untouched of course.
shut up bro you’re corny as hell
[Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer
Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer]
Since dawn of time
The fate of men is that of lice
Equal as parasites
And moving without eyes
A day of reckoning
When penence is to burn
Count down together now
And say the words
That you will learn
Hell Satan – Archangelo
Hell Satan – Welcome year zero
Hell Satan – Archangelo
Hell Satan – Welcome year zero
[Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer]
Crest fallen kings and queens
Comforting in their faith
Unbeknownst to them
Is the presence of the wraith
Since fate of men is equal
To the fate of lice
As new dawn rises
You shall recognize
Now behold the lord of flies
Hell Satan – Archangelo
Hell Satan – Welcome year zero
Hell Satan
He will tremble the nations
Kingdoms to fall one by one
Victim to fall for temptations
A daughter to fall for a son
The ancient serpent deceiver
The masses standing in awe
He will ascend to the heavens
Above the stars of god
Hell Satan – Arcangelo
Hell Satan – Welcome year zero
Hell Satan – Archangelo
Hell Satan – Welcome year zero

lets go
‘Singapore Sling’ is a masterpiece, of course. If I understand it correctly, Nikos Nikolaidis felt that this film was just as good, and when it was not recognized as such he stopped making films altogether.
Now, ‘Singapore Sling’ one can just watch and enjoy without wondering what the film is about. This is not the case with film, since from the outset it is clear that it is a work of utopian or dystopian fiction, and so comments on the human condition and social structures, in particular. I would look to hear more about the interpretation of this film from our Greek friends (Peter?), or from the Admin(s).
My first reaction is that the film portrays the female condition in a world dominated my men. So one might see it as a feminist film, a kind of Greek look at male domination as opposed to that of the all-American ‘Barbie’ of Greta Gerwig.
I am Albanian living in greece and not a greek.. Albanian women are hotter than most greek females and far more talented as actresses. Giakoumis that play in this film is part Albanian her grandfather lived near Tirana (the capital of Albania) before moving to greece and marrying a greek woman. In greece it’s considered bad to say that you have Albanian ancestors. So Albanians or halflings with mixed DNA like Eftihia Giakoumis that live here try to hide their true origins. You should know
First of all, i have to clear this up as i have the same “name” but i am not the same person as Peter below. And i won’t go there to say i am Greek , full Greek or whatever that nonsense means. I really dont get the comment about Eftihia having Albanian grandfather or the rest of the discrimination mumbling. I have to say though that world-history of film include many great Greek actresses for 100 years now (you want some names? Paxinou, Mercouri, Papas…). As for hotness and beauty, well, i can say from my POV not much difference…Now that we got these out of the way, about the film, Nikos was a sentimental person and we have a catalogue of nice artists in Greece that got misunderstood and kept their distance from their artform. A long one. Some were recognised outside the country (Angelopoulos) much much more, even today Lanthimos is not considered of high value in Greece. Your get is to the point, as all matters you mentioned are in the film. Nikolaidis had a lot of ideas and he always tries to create a mix of them. IMHO his films are and will always be interesting even if they were not always successful. I think in a way he never gave us a true masterpiece that he was capable of. Nice to get the chance to share my thoughts with you.
Stfu you douchebag or I’ll give you a knuckle sandwich you coward, I’d beat your brains in if you had any you gay crybaby, Grow up shit for brains. Ha ha.
Listen you crud. Remember when Admin shut down the comments for a day? How would you like that to be permanent? Keep it up you creep and see what happens. Final warning.
Finally… I honestly hope so
Fuck off Steve/Richard you faggot, its just you answering your own bullshit dickhead.
Suck my dick fuckhead
Listen very carefuly?
Suck me off you gay cry baby!
Doomsday Warning got you good this time. You’re all whining and crying like little jack off assholes. Ha ha. Ta ta.
How so Steve/ Richard? You dirty child rapist, How could a pedo ever “Get me good?” You dirty, dirty cunt. Ha ha. Ta ta. PredatAH
Peter, what a nice reaction. You know, when I grew up there was the Iron Curtain and the general public in the West had no idea about the cultural differences in Eastern Europe, it was unknown territory. Now I can understand very well that you are proud of your Albanian roots. [My hope is that Europe will become something like the United States, with ‘states’ that somehow represent the diverse peoples living there: the Albanians, the Macedonians, the Catalonians, the Basques, the Bretons, and so on… It will not happen in my lifetime, but to me it seems essential for Europe to continue to exist under the threats of China, the US, the Arab world, and (to a lesser extent) Russia.]
Peter, I am an old man, and for me all these (often vulgar) remarks about the ‘attractiveness’ of Greek actresses seem to corroborate what this film is about. So, let us not go there. I am surprised that you say that the films of Yorgos Lanthimos are not appreciated in Greece. He is highly regarded elsewhere, so please tell me more about the problems the Greek have with his work. Interestingly, there is an ‘effedup’ element in all of his work (but not of the splatter type) which to me is quite common in many European films (see the films of Athina Rachel Tsangari for a Greek example). Is that the problem the general public in Greece have a difficulty with?
Let us hear more from you, Peter!
😁 what the world has come to when an albanian snubs greeks.
Happens because a lot of women and men in Greece are mixed race. They are terrorized by greek racists and nationalists….
Actress Giakoumis mentioned in the film have also Albanian ancentry but she hides it out of fear and when some greek retard in here calls her “greek” makes me angry.
RETARD IS YOU AND PROBABLY ALL YOUR FAMILY idiot. I know the person and she is Greek. You are just stupid. VLAKA, also learn some history, monkey
Fuck off grecko wannabe. Greeks have been infested for thousands of years by retarded outsider inbred cunts whom no doubt you come from a long line of. Like I said, Giakoumis that play in this film is part Albanian her grandfather lived near Tirana before moving to greece and marrying a greek woman. Next time you tell someone to learn history, why don’t you look back at yours and find out which brother fucked his sister to brew you up you cro magnum dribbling chucklehead.
blah blah blah you told us 3 times already that Giakoumi had a grandfather from Albania. So what? This is history?
You informed us before about the Albanian actresses being a thing. You are a joke. Albanians are fine, as fine as Greeks anyway. You are a joke, you are a rude nobody, as if i dont know who fucked who etc and where we all come from. Who cares? you are a complete joke. vlaka blah blah blah sameshitinfo blah blah mumble blah blah blah

Great Admin(s)! Many thanks!
crazy stuff… from greece wow
thx
coco
today is a great day my fellow greeks
Eftihia Giakoumi was the best and prettiest new actress these years in Greece, my favorite.
Today she is a mediocre bitch with saggy tits and a face full of botox. Greek bitches turn ugly fast mate and spend all their money for plastic surgeries
I think she is retired from acting and certainly not a mediocre etc but ok.
Who cares stfu you little asshole, Greek sex is for Alphas you coward douche.
Yes you’d know all about taking it up the shit chute & forcing it up the assholes of younger & more vulnerable members of our species.
Hey Tommy. We need a pivot man at our next circle jerk tomorrow night and we know you’re about as gay as you can get. Are you game? Douche bag?
Ask Richard, Im sure he’s free Steve, If not Doomsday will be right up in your shitter…..but it could be a problem, You’re all the one weirdo, I guess you could have an imaginary fag fest, invite a concerned friend too, A grand old fuck fest in the Psych ward you multiple personality cunt, At least the kids are safe while the fag foursome is going down. Ta ta & enjoy pedo boy.
bravo malakas
Shut up μουνόπανο
φαε σκατά γαμώ το σπίτι σου αρχίδη
