Akamas (2006) Reviews
Great film. Every Cypriot(not only) should see it
This film is one of the very rare Cypriot films that are worth seeing. The history of the island (1930's-1970's) is portrayed through the love of two young people. Two Cypriots that are divided by their religion. They find ways to come together but the ultra right elements on both sides come between them. This film does not hide and clearly shows some very controversial elements of Cypriot history especially the EOKA struggle and the murders of left winged people by the EOKA fighters. This caused the Cypriot government's fury and thus was no longer funded by it. In fact they even tried to ban the film. I would urge every Cypriot to see it so that we can learn from our history.
