After watching this you want to scrub yourself clean. God, how disgusting, how revolting. If someone asked me what the most terrifying, disgusting film I've ever seen is — I'd name this one, because it's scarier than any horror, thriller or dystopia. Throughout the whole watch I kept thinking — hell on earth, but after finishing it I'd say the film shows purgatory, a place you can't escape from, people drowning in alcohol like quicksand, every ugly, revolting thing you can imagine is right there. Now every time any room smells bad I'll think of this film and assume there are Greeks living on the floor below cooking their lamb soup again (even if it's a detached house). I can't rate it any lower — yes it's disgusting and revolting, and the feeling of nausea stays with you after — but the way it's shot so naturalistically, that sticky moral rot, the filth in people's faces...
