We will meet at the Museum at 7:15 to purchase tickets (each person responsible for their own ticket). Please be prompt so that we can meet and attend together. We will seat ourselves whenever they open the theater, but will try to keep someone outside the theater to wait for late-comers, until the movie begins.

Afterwards, if we are interested we can go together for a drink, coffee or snack at Omonia, up on Broadway.

In Frantzis's intriguing mixture of cop film, magical realism, and Lynchean odyssey, a man overhears a description of a dream about an unusual robbery, then returns home to find his own apartment mysteriously cleaned out. This is just the first in a series of inexplicable events that occur in Athens that night. A red-headed hooker with apparent magical powers and a policeman with unorthodox methods also figure in Frantzis's enigmatic portrait of the Athenian nightworld.

(2005, Greece, 88 mins., 35mm. In Greek with English subtitles. With Konstantinos Markoulakis, Peggy Trikalioti.)

"A Dog's Dream has a fairytale flavor and moments of simple poetry that mark [Frantzis] as a director to watch." -- Derek Elley, Variety
