‘Arcadia’ Review: In Between Life and Death, There’s a Whole Lot of Mixed Emotions in Yorgos Zois’ Modern Greek Tragedy
Losing a loved one leaves a couple in a strange place in this peculiar rumination on the hereafter, headlined by 'Dogtooth' star Angeliki Papoulia.
Even without the “Welcome to Marathon” flyer that greets Katerina ( Angeliki Papoulia) and Yannis (Vangelis Mourikis) upon their arrival in “ Arcadia,” it’s clear that they’ve entered one of Greece’s stranger corners: a resort town where they will look into the untimely death of a loved one. In a place where tourists come and go, but the residents who cater to their whims can feel stuck in purgatory, Katerina and Yannis aren’t in for a vacation when they’re obliged to stick around for an autopsy after a tragic car crash to identify a body that’s suggested to be their daughter. Instead, it only opens up more questions, leading Yannis to dip into the pills he can prescribe for himself as a doctor as Katerina accepts the invitation of a local teen Nikos (Asterios Rimagmos Rigas), who takes her across the beach to a bar known as Arcadia to blow off some steam.
