"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.
