Customer Reviews of From the Edge of the City
The actors had no prior acting experience:Realism 100% A very best film by Giannaris that explores an ethic Greex-x(can) minority in Athens. The film win many awards and it is perceived one of the best experimentak films of 1999. A powerful, raw film about a group of outcast teenagers living in Menidi, a predominately Greek-Russian suburb near Athens, Greece. I saw that film in LA and I was suprised. This is want I really like. It has the elements of action, love, crime and mixed traditions. 100% u have to watch!
Greek Salad with Russian Dressing
Gather a cast of 8 or 10 fairly good looking people who speak Greek and (poor) Russian put them in front of a camera...Don't even try to solicit a decent acting performance out of any of them but give them each some unrelated dialogue to speak...add a bunch of drug scenes, some greek instrumental and house rock music, add some kick boxing scenes and some "flashback effect" scenes of a bunch of kids in a field...
Then cut up everything you film...toss it up in the air... and splice it together randomly...
You would probably get a better film than this!
An alternative viewpoint...
OK, so this movie tackles some important issues, and not on the glossy streets of LA, Sydney or London - but on the grimey streets of Athina. Still, this movie is lacking in a lot of things. It appears that they have settled for any guy who was capable of speaking Russian and Greek who had a good body and was willing to play a 'queer'. (I might add here his Russian was awful - though I know not of his proficiency in Greek) His acting scenes were horrid! - especially when Sasha had to talk to camera in his 'interviews!'
Even so the film had a great concept, some (I mean some) great camera work, but the movie never takes hold, and just never kicks off the ground. A good attempt by the director, but they should have had a few more goes before releasing internationally.
As always, best to get it yourself and make up your own mind. However if you are after light-hearted time (it never claims to be), after a perve, or after an extremely memorable experience: go do the dishes instead. On the other hand: if you want to just 'watch a movie' well hey why not? :)
