On Tuesday 17 June at 19:00 and on Wednesday 18 June at 21:00 we will screen in cinema Utopia the film Marjoram (Greece, colour, 2013, 102 min) directed by Olga Malea. The film is in the original Greek version with English subtitles. Not suitable for children under 16 years.

Synopsis


Marjoram is a psychological suspense drama about a mother-daughter relationship in which love and abuse seem go hand in hand. Anna (11) is a smart and talented kid. Mary, her mother, actively supports Anna so that she can get the best out of her talents. However, suddenly Anna starts behaving in strange ways, putting herself in danger. When asked what is happening, Anna claims that she is just fine. Her weird behaviour however continues, driving Mary to her limits. Why a child, who seems happy on the surface, is acting so unpredictably? Why a mother, who loves her child so much, is having no clue of what is going on?


What did the press say


Mixed reviews for Marjoram, a film the Greek audience did not die for, taking into account the box office numbers. It's an audience that opts for American blockbusters, after all, so nothing surprises us. Read a more detailed point of view from Penni Pappas  and from Zoom info.
