“Direction of extraordinary dexterity and a sensual but also hallucinate atmosphere.”
Elie Castiel, Sequenses, Montreal
“As New Year’s Eve approaches at the end of 2000, eight lonely alienated city duelers
struggle to connect with other human beings in “2000+1 Shots”. Skillfully intercutting their stories, which converge in unexpected ways, this criss-crosser gradually, shifts from everyday portraiture to drama as all connections turn out for the worse. Though bleak, this fourth film by helmer Dimitris Athanitis is admirably sincere and concise in describing a cross-section of today’s Athenians.”
Deborah Young, Variety
“A difficult and deliberately unglamorous film, but sure of its method and purpose.
Athanitis blends disconnected threads of alternated, urban life –a lost child,
an unhappy couple, a hired killer – into a despairing but hypnotic mosaic.”
Adrian Martin, The Age
