Venus in the Garden (2011)
Mid-summer heatwave. Nikos and Alain, two male prostitutes and a female pimp, Monica, get tangled in a peculiar relationship after meeting in a dark street called POUTANA. They fall in love, play with guns and talk about card games, money and theatre castings. Is this a game of role playing the three of them have invented to pass their time in a remote, empty summer house? Have they been reading Jean Genet? Whether a mirror image of the characters’ reality or an elliptic depiction of their distorted, dream-like perception of it, I Afroditi Stin Avli, by juxtaposing disparate literary and art references, leads its isolated characters towards dissolution. And yet, in its strange language, it presents this dissolution as a triumph.

Best movie of this year hands down!
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
