История
Dimitris Poulikakos was born on March 17, 1942 in Athens, Greece as Dimitrios Poulikakos. He is an actor and composer, known for Donousa (1992), Το μετέωρο βήμα του πελαργού (1991) and Souvliste tous! He is also a prominent figure in the Greek Rock scene.
In a suffering country somewhere in the near future, a community of misfits who live in a state of decadence and paranoia, tries to claim a decent life, fighting against an authoritarian oppressive regime.
Shortly before the completion of his latest project, a filmmaker who has already made his mark on the local cult and avant-garde film scene, presents his latest effort - a real low-budget masterpiece!
It was in the 60s when Matala, a poor, fishing village in southern Crete, gained worldwide fame with reports in the international press and became the “controversial point” of local society, causing the wrath of the church and the intervention of the military regime in Athens. Hippies from all over the world lived in the famous caves of Matala, forming a unique international community, whose loose and alternative lifestyles provoked the morals of the time. Who were these young people? What brought them to Matala? What was their relationship with the locals? Did orgies really take place? The answers are given by the – nowadays almost septuagenarian – protagonists of the story: Arn and Elmar from Germany, the British sisters Shirley and Pam, Greek musician Dimitris Poulikakos, grandma Alexandra and grandma Katerina, and George, a poor fisherman and a friend of Joni Mitchell from way back.

Chief Photographer
Телерепортёр находит в лагере беженцев пропавшего греческого политика. Вернувшись в Афины, журналист просит его жену (Жанна Моро) поехать с ним в этот лагерь, чтобы отпали все сомнения... На стиль позднего Ангелопулоса в определенной мере повлиял итальянский сценарист и поэт Тонино Гуэрра. Возврат к политической проблематике охваченной новыми раздорами Европы в лентах «Прерванный шаг аиста» и «Взгляд Улисса» придает им некоторую декларативность. Хотя в них неизменно есть яркие поэтические сцены; в “Прерванном шаге аиста” запоминается финальный пейзаж, на котором камера щедро надолго останавливается: герой, снятый издали, одиноко бредет по пустырю, уставленному множеством телеграфных столбов, на верхушках которых работают, копошатся монтажники-высотники, все в одинаковых робах.

The film is the story of a group of soldiers, who, in the course of their compulsory military service in 1967 and 1968, before and during the military dictatorship in Greece, are assigned to the then recently founded Armed Forces Television. This TV station, founded for the civilian population, was run by the Cinematographic Unit of the army which until then had only produced propaganda films and newsreels and was responsible for entertaining the troops and other charity organizations with movie screenings. The personnel was composed mostly of soldiers, who already had experience in the film business in their civilian lives, as well as those who received their training in the army. The story may be only 95% true, but that is simply because the true story is even more absurd...

"Arpa-colla" in Greek literally means "Grab and stick", a phrase used to show something that has been done quickly and therefore isn't good enough. This is what the 2 main heroes of the film are doing. The one is a director(Giorgos) and the other an author(Kostas) with communistic ideas, who has won a prize at a festival. They both want to make a movie for the cinema. But every idea they have never comes true, because every time they meet someone to whom they tell their idea, they change their mind, and they want to make a totally different movie, ideas varying from political cinema to Greek historical dramas and modern films with motorcycle gangs. Not a bad attempt for the Greek cinema of the early 80's, which starts to wake up from the hibernation of the 70's.
