Black Stone Black Stone

Spiros Jacovides / Greece / 2022 / 87 min / Greek

A documentary filmmaking crew that stumbles upon an overprotective Greek mother searching for her grown-up son dispels the illusion of this eccentric family’s idyllic coexistence. Using the form of a fake documentary, this social satire betrays small lies and little secrets to humorous effect.

Civil servant Panos Dologlou hasn’t been home for two days and his 68-year-old mother Haroula is worried sick. When a camera crew turns up on the doorstep of the home she also shares with her wheelchair-using older son Lefteris she assumes they’re news reporters and immediately invites them in. They are, in fact, a documentary crew, on the trail of Panos because he has been accused of fraud. Haroula sets out with her other, disabled son and a Greek-African taxi driver to bring him back home where he belongs. Even if this means discovering who her son really is.

Black Stone is a fictional story about real life. A window onto the modern Greek tragedy. It is the story of a Greek family that reflects upon a whole society, a whole country in disintegration.” (Spiros Jacovides)

Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war in a dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion, the voices of the Russian soldiers – ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment – expose the whole scope of the dehumanizing power.
