😸
Edition screened: Second Run DVD #90, released 2015. Greek language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 94 minutes.
Summary: No depictions of violence or harm to animals.
Using very little dialogue, Kinetta delicately expands a complex relationship between three people who reenact recent murders taken place in their desolate Greek resort town. A plain-clothes police officer is a bully in real life and plays the aggressors; a hotel maid with esteem issues play the victims; and a film processing technician is the cameraman who commits the reenactments to video.
Kinetta sometimes is challenging to follow and requires that you want to watch it, but is a genuine work of art. It is not easy to make a work of art. It is simple to make You’ve Got Mail.
