Deadpan stoicism has become the default mode of the Greek Weird Wave. Though equally strange, the wavelengths of the films by such proponents of the movement as Babis Makridis, Athina Rachel Tsangari, and—before vaulting to Hollywood’s big leagues—Yorgos Lanthimos don’t always align. But there’s a sense of cold, wry detachment that informs the way in which these works probe the friction between human nature and nurtured civility.
The Greek Weird Wave movement’s films are inseparable from their constituent tropes. Many of them set out to concoct visions of a society where human society is seen merely as unhinged, irrational, or paradoxical. That’s not an untrue observation, but it doesn’t help that the experimental potential afforded by absurdism squanders itself so easily by way of uninspired and hackneyed reiterations of the tropes and conventions that define the movement.

Kit Harington is back to work!
The 36-year-old Game of Thrones actor takes on a very different role for Eternal Return, alongside Naomi Scott and Simon Callow, which filmed scenes on Sunday (November 12) in London, England.
In the scenes, the trio follow a map that leads them to The Windmill nightclub. Later on, they are seen escaping out the back door and running to their car to escape.
The movie follows Cass (Scott), a young woman who has resigned herself to a life of emotional invulnerability until she meets Virgil (Harington), a cartographer who makes maps to imaginary places. Along with his partner Malcolm (Jeremy Irons), a vibrant renaissance man, the pair relentlessly attempts to travel back in time to awaken Cass to love again.
The original feature is written and directed by Yaniv Raz.
There’s also an update about Kit Harington‘s HBO spinoff for Jon Snow!
