Strella

Surprisingly well played and excellently written

I had the honour to see that movie at it&apos;s world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival. This surprising story of a man coming out of jail and falling in love with a transsexual is excellently written and surprisingly well played. Nearly all the actors are amateurs, but who needs trained actor with a cast like that: Especially Mina Orfanou in the role of &apos;Strella&apos; is a revelation. Panos Koutras finds a way to tell a complicated story and to keep the audience interested in the main characters without following paths of Pedro Almodovar, though both have the wicked humor in common and both obviously love a good melodramatic story line every now and then. And he knows how to end a story, something that isn&apos;t often seen in queer movies nowadays. I sincerely hope &apos;Strella&apos; will find a broader audience as it is clever and entertaining.
