The Big Nostril

About This Movie

So, 'The Big Nostril' is this quirky 1981 comedy that kind of defies a straightforward genre classification. You’ve got Sotiris Moustakas playing Thiseas Doxapatris, who's a detective with a twin brother—classic mix-up potential, right? The tone is light yet absurd, with a sense of humor that feels distinctly Greek. The pacing sometimes lags, but it allows for these bizarre moments to breathe. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, lending an almost surreal quality to the scenes. Moustakas really gives it his all, playing both brothers with a playful energy that keeps you engaged. It has this unique atmosphere that feels almost like a theatrical play at times—a true oddity worth noting in any serious genre collector's catalog.
