Kinetta (DVD)

Kinetta is a perversely fascinating early feature from director Yorgos Lanthimos, who would later go on to international renown with Dogtooth,
Alps, and The Favourite. It is set at a desolate Greek resort town where a bored chambermaid (Evangelia Randou, Attenberg) forms a bizarre trio with a control freak detective (Costas Xikominos) and an eccentric photo shop clerk (Aris Servetalis, Alps). Together they stage re-enactments of the murders of a local serial killer. What at first seems to be an investigative experiment turns out to be more of an exploration into the depths of their own psychosexual obsessions. As provocative and thought-provoking as his more famous work, Kinetta is essential to understanding one of the greatest artists of his generation.
