Viktor, i ta paidia stin exousia

About This Movie

So, 'Viktor, i ta paidia stin exousia' is quite the unusual piece. It’s this video-recorded performance of a surrealist play that’s reimagined as a musical—definitely not something you see every day. The atmosphere is both whimsical and haunting, with Stamatis Kraounakis handling the libretto and music, which adds this layered complexity to the experience. His performance as Victor—a child prodigy from a bourgeois backdrop—really draws you in, and the pacing has this almost dreamlike quality that keeps you guessing. There’s a distinct charm in how it blends the theatrical with the musical; it’s a unique take on surrealism that’s not often explored through this medium.

This film is a bit of a rarity, especially for collectors interested in Greek cinema or surrealism. It's not widely available, which adds to its allure, and many fans are still on the lookout for any home media release that captures the original performance's essence. Given the scarcity of video recordings of theatrical performances like this, it holds a niche but dedicated interest in the collector community.
