"What a tragic story." Cohen Media Group has revealed their official trailer for this indie Greek comedy called Apples, which originally premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival a few years back. We posted a promo trailer then and reviewed it out of Venice (it's superb!) but now that it's finally landing in theaters in the US, we're happy to feature it again. After a pandemic causes people to develop sudden amnesia, a man is enrolled in a recovery program designed to create new memories. The film evokes profound questions: "Are we the sum of the images we compile and display of ourselves, or are we something richer, and deeper?" Apples stars Aris Servetalis, Sofia Georgovassili, Anna Kalaitzidou, Argyris Bakirtzis, & Kostas Laskos. It's a very bleak film but so creative and captivating, highly recommend catching it when it opens. Here's the new official US trailer (+ poster) for Christos Nikou's Apples,...

"You can make a new beginning." An early festival promo trailer has debuted for a funky Greek film titled Apples, made by a protégé of Yorgos Lanthimos. This is premiering at the Venice Film Festival next month, which is why they're releasing this trailer to build buzz. After a pandemic causes people to develop sudden amnesia, a man is enrolled in a recovery program designed to create new memories. Much like how The Lobster explores modern relationships, Apples explores memory. Asking questions like: Do we remember what we have experienced or what we have chosen to remember? Can we forget the things that hurt us? In the end, are we simply just the sum of all those things we don't forget? The film stars Aris Servetalis, Sofia Georgovassili, Anna Kalaitzidou, Argyris Bakirtzis, and Kostas Laskos. It has that very odd, offbeat vibe like in Lanthimos' early films Dogtooth and Alps.

The death of their father triggers Panos (Prometheus Aleifer) and half-brother George (John De Holland) to take stock. The latter wants to stick together and move forward while the former chooses to start anew. Panos is a doctor who now recognizes the delicacy of life too well and wants to hit the country in Alyti so his services can do some real good away from the city. George incessantly calls in the hopes of persuading him out of this altruistic dream he assumes will implode, but his brother is prideful and won’t be so easily swayed. Panos thinks science can explain everything and the people around him think that’s a flaw. He wants to prove them wrong—that science saves lives. Nature, however, doesn’t quite agree.
Director Minos Nikolakakis and screenwriter De Holland ensure Panos realizes how unexplainable, unorthodox, and dangerous nature can be by placing a...
