Marina, 23, chooses to observe the human species through the songs of Suicide, the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough, and the sexual-education lessons she receives from her only friend, Bella. A stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel. Her father meanwhile ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century. Caught between the two men and the mesmerizing Bella, Marina investigates the wondrous mystery of the human fauna, love and sexual identity included. Strangely endearing, extremely personal, soft and slightly disturbing at the same time, Attenberg, a film very symbolic of the renewal of Greek contemporary cinema, creates a unique universe. Athina Rachel Tsangari, who recently produced « Dogtooth », winner of a Certain Regard in Cannes 2010, may well be the most promising Greek filmmaker of her generation. « I made a film about four people who happen to be at the same place for a short period of time. Three people who become four and then two. Three, of course, being the only perfect number in any relation. » - Athina Rachel Tsangari Watch the trailer here : http://www.the-match-factory.com/fi...
