GREEK FILMS
Greek films might satisfy your longing for Greece when it´s months, not weeks, until your next vacation here. Foreign or partly Greek movie makers love re-creating that typical Greek atmosphere, you know..bougainvillea, roasted goat and turquoise waters... And a handsome Greek man or woman as the star of the fairytale. Not to forget the music and dancing! From Mamma Mia to Never on Sunday - the film music makes you get up and shake your body! (I don´t really know if this picture of Melina Mercouri is from a movie, but I juts love this shot of the goddess of Greek movies and had to share it with you!). OK, here´s a list of films that should comfort you on a I-miss-Greece-so-much-I-could-die-night: Mamma Mia. Makes even me miss Greece.My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The Greeks and the Greek family pictured exactly like they are. Zorba the Greek. How to live life.Shirley Valentine. Woman bringing out her inner goddess.Never on Sunday.Oh, Melina! She was just sooooo beautiful.The Sirens of the Aegean. Make love, not war. Hysterically funny Greek film about how Greeks manage to enjoy life even in the army...My Life in Ruins. A sort of sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Captain Corelli´s Mandolin. Love that never dies. Or so I think.Le Grand Bleu.Tzatziki och Farsan. Cute Swedish film about boy who was conceived on a holiday on Greece and who returns with his mum to find his father.
