"Angel"
1982
Directed by George Katakouzinos
A handsome young Athenian believes he may have found
an escape from poverty and his alcoholic father when he falls for a macho
sailor who promises him a better life. Their life together is far from
blissful, however, as Angel's new lover puts him to work on the streets as a
transvestite prostitute. When his dangerous and humiliating new profession
finally overwhelms him, Angel strikes back through violence. A dark,
gripping drama of love exploited and revenge taken. "...bold, realistic,
sensitive and skillfully made..." (Variety). Greek with English
subtitles. 120 minutes. |
