The Waiter

Maybe it is not my taste, but it was a waste of time. Almost nothing happens the whole movie. Very predictable. The plot was not that interesting. Except for the main actor that played well, the rest of the actors were just bad.

Some meaning. That could have been told in 5 minutes. Truly boring empty stills most of the time. Some surreal script does not make a drama movie. Or even a movie. Would have goven 1 star but some of the local shots were fine.

Is it a Greek novie style to purposefully nake movies slow, less talked and totally void of feelings. Like is that the movie "industry" in Greece that makes movies to be always like this. Somehow it is even more ironic that when Hollywood or some other "putside" interest makes Greek topic movies, they are fun, understandable and interesting. And the actors actually act like normal human beings. :-/

A cold film. Precise storytelling and clear definition of life for a waiter. A lonely one, part of his daily routine, from job and dialogues with his colegue, to the terrible events and the manner to survive to them and proposition of new perspective , not comfortable of happiness. A film like a challenge to the public because ot propose ,in inspired manner, questions about connection with your job, about superficial known next door neighbour, about live and freedom , about hobbies and colegues from work and clients and general knowledge and strangers and well prepared dishes. So, just a special film.

This movie imay bore you to death if looking for daily dose of media painkillers. The story is plain. Acting is restrictive. Pace is slow.

This is a zen story in images. It will force you to face yourself. It will remind you about your quest. It offers you a way out without loosing your integrity.

When you see a movie categorized as "arthouse", its best to stay away, That way, you won't be sorry to have wasted 1-3 hours of your time, watching some meaningless meanderings of people/places/situations, without any real idea of what is going on. Sure, in this "movie", there are some definite things, but what they have to do with each other and why things happen the way the "director" puts them in, is totally unknown.

The arthouse label seems to have been devised in order for piss takers to put nonsense together and to persuade the critics & the public (while chuckling under their breaths), that their movie is a cerebral exploration of %^$£@*{+!><:"{}£$%($£@.

Don't waste your time. Find a real movie to watch.

Director: best get another job, where you actually do something.
