ASTORIA – The Hellenic Film Society USA in association with the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI) presents a screening of The Other Me (Eteros Ego) at MOMI, 36-01 35th Avenue in Astoria, on Sunday, Feb. 24, 4 PM.
Directed by Sotiris Tsafoulias and starring Pygmalion Dadakaridis, Dimitris Katalifos, Manos Vakousis, Francois Cluzet, and Dora Karvouni, the film is a psychological thriller featuring a professor of criminology asked by the police to help solve a baffling case involving serial murders. His knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem proves an invaluable asset to the investigation.
Early in its commercial release in Greece, the director withdrew the film from circulation when a murderer told the media that he had been influenced by the film. Nearly three years later, this intriguing psychological thriller is ready for its comeback.
Shown in Greek with English subtitles.
The film is part of the Always on Sunday film series, featuring monthly Sunday afternoon screenings of Greek films.
