Mikaella, the phantom movie

[JesusChristTheSecond · 2/10 · 16 February 2009]

Nudity and soft sex scenes at the Greek landscapes. Lesbian action and marital dead ends. The whole movie makes no sense, but it is notorious in Greece because of its cast. Mimi Denisi (now a snob theatre and quality only actress) is involved in a production whose main goal was to show naked flesh and shock. Giorgos Christodoulou is also an actor famous enough, so he also makes you laugh as you watch him taking part in this film. The plot, a married rich couple, the husband cheats on the wife and the wife gets bored. So she is looking for alternatives ("Sappho Poetry" as they put it). Mimi is not showing enough flesh, but non the less, is close to. Finally, note that all cast and crew has denied the existence of the film.

A Modern Day Greek Tragedy

[Uriah43 · 2/10 · 20 October 2018]

Having been separated from her husband for a little over 6 months "Mikaela" (Mimi Denissi) is anxious to be rejoined with him at the construction site he is working on. Yet although she has been completely faithful to him, her husband-on the other hand-has had a mistress with whom he expresses no real concern about his wife at all. To make matters even worse, upon her arrival all of the women involved in her husband's business seem reluctant to have anything to do with her which leaves her feeling rather isolated and alone. Likewise, rather than wanting to spend any time with her, her husband is more preoccupied with work, and this also adds to her feelings of loneliness. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a poorly made film from start to finish. The acting was second-rate, the editing was awful, the plot lacked focus and the script needed significant improvement. Further, the scenes-which were supposed to be sexy and erotic-turned out to be rather dull and boring. That being said, there was one-and only one-good feature in this entire picture and that was the presence of Aliki Zanou (as "Maya") who was absolutely gorgeous. But even so, there was no way that she could have saved this awful movie all by herself and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly.
