About This Movie

Which Way to the Septic Tank? is one of those quirky gems from the late '70s that blends comedy and drama in a pretty unique way. The story revolves around Thanasis Papathanasis, a devoted tanker driver doing everything he can to support his sister while secretly dreaming of marrying his long-time love, Eleni. The film has a very distinct tone, mixing slapstick humor with a more serious undertone about family obligations and unrequited love. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm. Performances are heartfelt, especially Papathanasis, whose earnestness really pulls you in. It’s definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after watching.

This film has had limited releases, with most collectors seeking out VHS or rare DVD editions that come and go in the market. It's somewhat of a curiosity, as many might not even realize it exists. Its scarcity and unique premise definitely pique collector interest, especially for those who appreciate offbeat cinema from the late '70s.
