12 Best Greek Movies to Watch

Yorgos Lanthimos and the newer Greek wave built a deadpan, unsettling style out of families and societies enforcing bizarre private rules, and it made Greek film hard to ignore again. The older generation is just as rewarding. Eternity and a Day has a dying writer spending his last day with an orphaned Albanian boy, Landscape in the Mist sends two children across Greece looking for a father who may not exist, and Suntan charts a doctor’s humiliating obsession on a holiday island. Dogtooth, Alps, Attenberg, Miss Violence, Z, Zorba the Greek, Never on Sunday and Pandora’s Box round out the list.
