Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos1h 38m2005
At a Greek hotel in the off-season, a chambermaid, a man obsessed with BMW cars, and a photo-store clerk attempt to film and photograph various badly re-enacted struggles between a man and a woman.
Our read: Kinetta (2005) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, surreal weird-wave · debut · minimal entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
