The Jerks (1987)
A classic
26 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Giorgos Konstandinou in one of the definitive moments of his career and in a film that is now considered classic, as it managed to capture almost everything "late 80s." The film is shot during an era long gone. Those teens that watched it in cinemas or on VHS (for younger readers, a technology allowing the reproduction of films in the home environment using magnetic tape as the medium...) will find this a very funny and nostalgic film.

The fat wife, the clueless karateka, the undertaker, the ever unlistenable Linda Giga, everything falls into place. This is as much a heist film as it is a treatise on late 80s Athens. If you are over 35, you will understand.
