The Ogre of Athens

(1956)Directed by Nikos Koundouros104 minCrime, Comedy, Thriller, Drama
“The most biting, the most daring social satire”

Nobody in Athens can say who the Ogre really is, only that on New Year's Eve the whole city seems to know his face. Thomas (Dinos Iliopoulos), a timid bank clerk, is mistaken for him, and Nikos Koundouros follows the long night that comes of it, through the nightlife underworld. If Thomas keeps up the lie, he has to answer to the real criminals who rule these streets.
