The madness goes on ... schools

About This Movie

So, 'The Madness Goes On... Schools' (1987) is this quirky little comedy that really captures the chaos of teenage life in Athens during the late '80s. The dynamic between Nana and her mother is refreshingly free-spirited, almost avant-garde for its time, steering clear of typical family dramas. You get this palpable tension right from the start with Nana’s struggles at Athens High School – it's not just about the usual teen angst, but also the underlying challenges of female friendships and competition. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but that kind of adds to its charm. It's got a raw authenticity, especially in the performances; they really embody that youthful energy. The practical effects are minimal, but the real star is how it weaves humor into serious themes without losing its lighthearted core.

Unique comedic take on female friendships.Explores teenage life and challenges in Athens.Interesting mix of humor and serious themes.
