Horse and Rider

About This Movie

So, 'Horse and Rider' is an intriguing piece, set in a Thessaloniki hotel during a sweltering July. It’s got this almost dreamlike quality where time feels elastic. Sylvia and Yannis, just two souls navigating life, find themselves drawn together over three days. Their conversations have this effortless flow, punctuated by laughter and silent moments that resonate. The sounds of the city almost become a character in itself, wrapping around them as they create this intimate bubble. There’s a distinct, almost nostalgic atmosphere at play, allowing you to feel the weight of the heat and the depth of their connection. The performances are subtle yet powerful, leaving you with an impression that's hard to shake off.

The film has generated a modest buzz among collectors, especially due to its unique setting and character-driven narrative. While not widely distributed, early screenings hinted at a strong potential for cult status, especially among those who appreciate intimate storytelling. It’s still in its early days, so original prints may be a bit scarce right now, but as word spreads, it’s likely to draw more attention in niche circles.
