1922

1922

The poster depicts the heroine of the movie, Betty Valasi, bearing on her shoulders her dead daughter (Eleonora Stathopoulou). Her eyes are bleary and her lips form a straight line out of pain. At the bottom of the poster, the title of the movie is recorded in red, blood-soaked letters: “1922”. Below it: “A film by Nikos Koundouros”.
A poster featuring a remarkable photo, taken from a scene of the movie. The group of mother and daughter, the mother with the unjustly lost child on her shoulders and the pain in her eyes bring to mind the respective image of Virgin Mary’s funeral lament as her child laid dead in front of her feet and she inconsolably bewailed, as well as the words of the poet Giannis Ritsos from his poetic collection “Epitaphios”.
