不公正世界

　　It’s hard to be honest in a dishonest world. Sotiris has almost given up. Luckily he still has his work as a cop, which provides a modest opportunity to fight the system. A fabulous, melancholy comedy with unmistakeable Kaurismäki and Tati influences.


　　Sotiris is a policeman nearing retirement. His work consists of interrogating suspects. One day, he decides he only wants to be just - a decision which means all his interviewees are let off and which leads him to make a fatal mistake during a corruption hearing.


　　Dora, an opportunistic cleaning lady, who just like everyone else is desperately trying to keep her head above water in a bankrupt country, is the only person who can help him. The tired policeman trusts her and they even seem to be falling in love. However, time and again, Sotiris desire for and faith in honesty is invalidated.


　　Filippos Tsitos’ follow-up to Plato’s Academy, in which Antonis Kafetzopoulos also played the lead, is another Greek-German co-production. The phlegmatic characters, the deadpan humour and the stylised, minimalist scenes are reminiscent of both the work of Aki Kaurismäki and Jacques Tati as well as that of Tsitos’ countryman Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth).

“如果你见到他，你能不能告诉他，没有什么事情更重要，除了我们遇见彼此”，“我欺骗你，是为了更好地了解你”。

从美术、摄影、调度都像极了荒诞版的阿基·考里斯马基，但却是一个有点超现实主义的世界，孤独、直白、没有表情的人们，那份人与人之间的疏离蚀进骨子里，只有那两段钢琴配乐响起的时候，才让人感觉到一点点情感和温暖。戏剧冲突来源于谎言的说或者不说，似乎没有人懂得撒谎。★★★
