Aroview: Highly original Greek oddity following the surreal antics of two young women who take life inspiration from the wildlife documentaries of David Attenborough and the songs of minimalist post-punk band Suicide. Along with fellow Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos' DOGTOOTH, this demonstrates a wholly unfamiliar side of Greek culture, bravely exploring the absurd side of human behaviour with black humour and inventive playfulness.
