I balada tis trypias kardias

"Ballad for a Pierced Heart" exceeds all expectations and brings something new to the table that Greek Cinema has never seen before. Black comedy, Drama, Noir. Director Yannis Economides successfully merges all those genres into one masterfully executed and acted(!) film, ready to inspire a new generation of filmmakers. The cinematography is excellent and fits perfectly with the tone the director was going for. There really are no big flaws with this "Ballad", maybe if I had to nitpick I would say that the score of the film is sometimes a little bit off but it never takes you out of the experience. In conclusion "Ballad for a Pierced Heart" is absolutely what it needed to by both for the audience and the modern era of Greek Cinema.

I definitely will never understand the reviewers that rate this movie with one star. It definitely can't be one of the worst movies they've seen. The movie is well directed and with multiple twists. Actors (especially the protagonist) are doing a great job. Many funny scenes especially if you're Greek.

I hope that you can find a good translation to understand the film... in any case and especially if you are Greek, you will love it!!!

Ok, don't miss this one, two hours of pure fun.

Not a second goes by without excitement.

Amazing acting. One of the best Greek movies I have ever seen.

Not worth your time,stereotype all the time,the same dialogues on repeat with a autistic twist.It was some times,I try to cover my ears because I can't stand the yelling and the repeatable phrases (typical Economidis films).The script has no imagination and the only good moment at the end because that tragedy stops..We was waiting this movie for a long time and it was a big disappointment.The Greek cinema must reconstruct and follow other countries before is to late...
