“An enjoyably chaotic farce.”

Allan Hunter, Screen International

In their luxurious villa near Athens, Mariella (Smaragda Karydi) and Pavlos (Akis Sakellariou), a couple on the brink of financial ruin, are about to celebrate the long-awaited wedding of their daughter Sofia (Natasa Exintaveloni) to a wealthy heir. Then, an unusual development: a dodo appears at the villa and exerts a strange influence on everyone involved. Wedding preparations are disrupted, to say the least, and the line between sanity and madness begins to fray. An absurdist film influenced by the work of Yorgos Lanthimos and other members of the ​“Greek Weird Wave,” Dodo is independent writer-director Panos H. Koutras’s fifth feature. The film had its world premiere in Cannes’s Premiere section in 2022 on the way to earning 15 Hellenic Film Academy Award nominations—including Best Picture—and winning one, for the dodo (by way of the Special Effects category)!
