"A Girl in Black"
1956
Directed by Michael Cacoyannis

The Girl in Black "reveals Elli Lambetti as an actress of truly tragic stature." The story of a young Athenian writer on holiday who falls in love with a girl of impoverished gentility and is unable to respond to her. A disaster provoked by spiteful peasants shocks him into a new awareness of his own involvement in life. "The film has a simplicity and a vibrancy that make it stand out from even the best of foreign films. We experience the emotions and temperament of a new film artist who is trying to find his own way," wrote Pauline Kael. Greek with English subtitles. 101 minutes.
