This Tuesday, August 9, the UGC Ciné Cité Les Halles cinema, in Paris, received some key actors from the film Dodo. A wacky Greek comedy starring Akis Sakellariou, Mariella Savvides and Natasa Exintaveloni. For this premiere of Dodo, Polydoros Vogiatzis, Pános H. Koútras, Tzef Montana and Delaney Blue were there. The pitch? In their luxurious villa near Athens, Mariella and Pavlos, a couple on the verge of ruin, prepare to celebrate the marriage of their daughter Sofia to a wealthy heir. It is then that a dodo, a bird that disappeared 300 years ago, appears, dragging all the protagonists into a crazy circle. The situation will soon be out of control…
For this premiere, Tzef Montana had put on a superb white dress, while the director Pános H. Koútras and Polydoros Vogiatzis were very colorful. Finally, guitarist and recognized musician – who composes the music of Dodo – Delaney Blue had opted for a more sober costume. Reviews are already blown away by Dodo, from the Greek director. Indeed, presented at Cannes in the Cannes Première section, last May, the film did not receive a prize but conquered its world, thanks to a “gallery of unflattering portraits, brushed with a caustic humor that scratches spectators and characters to the point of blood“, as reported by 20 minutes. “I chose the dodo because it was exterminated by humans in a very short time and it symbolizes the inconsistency of our species“, said the filmmaker.
Our colleagues even compare the film Dodo to successes like Festen or films by Almodovar. sleep”had the room twisted into laughter“, we learn. And if the dodo “incredibly endearing“is apparently the real hero of a game of massacre of the most joyful, he was not in the game yesterday, but Polydoros Vogiatzis, Pános H. Koútras, Tzef Montana and Delaney Blue, they played the game.
