Definitely a movie to watch. The directing is refreshing combined with great actors and story makes it unique.
Either way it seems long at first, the story of not a typical gangster takes you completely in throughout his life of girlfriends, smuggling, and actions.
Definitely recommended for those who appreciate non-american movies!

Movie to watch with great actors and story
Superb. I had to watch twice
I never normally leave reviews, but felt compelled to after watching this.
This is one of the best films I've watched in a very long time. It left me thinking of it long after I watched it, and not many can make me do this.
Not only was the acting some of the best I've seen in a while-especially the main character who plays Nikos, who really gives you a deep understanding and empathy towards the character, but also the film is so visually artistic and not forgetting the soundtrack, Moby and Paulo Nutini being the two best tracks to stir up your emotions at the films ending.
Cannot fault this film, and it's one that will stay with me for a long time.
Superb cinematography
The movie potrays a typical gangster of Eastern Europe in the 1980s. I wish such an epic movie for all the dead gangsters of my country. Most of them gangsters by chance than by choice. The plot is very complex and would make Martin Scorcese proud of his genre.
