The Cinematheque

“A comical, breezy affair … [Brando with a Glass Eye] continues the national tradition of strange, off-kilter filmmaking.”

Morris Yang, In Review Online

If Antonis Tsonis’s debut is any indication, the Weird Wave is experiencing a second wind. The first Greek-language film to appear in Slamdance’s narrative competition, Brando with a Glass Eye takes the country’s proclivity for cinematic strangeness into uncharted territories with this metatextual tale of a wannabe actor (Yiannis Niarros) who resorts to crime to finance a trip to New York’s famed Actors Studio. When a bystander is shot during a botched heist job, the Brando-obsessive goes method and befriends the victim in an increasingly unhinged bid for personal salvation. Steeped in the influence of New Hollywood cinema, Tsonis’s confident, curious debut is a mise en abyme about the movies and the art (and artifice) of performance.

In Greek with English subtitles

“Highly unusual and unlike most other films to come around the pike in recent times, Brando with a Glass Eye signals the arrival of a profoundly interesting writer/​director who marches determinedly to the beat of his own drum.” Erin Free, FilmInk
