The Photograph

Η φωτογραφία

1987

A Greek immigrant in Paris spins an elaborate, destructive lie around a woman in a photograph, a deception that entangles a naive newcomer and spirals toward tragedy. A dark, unsettling drama.

Why it’s here

A Greek critics-canon film about migration, identity, and the Greek diaspora.
