Miss Violence is a grim tale of family dysfunction that also stands as an allegory about moral and economic decline in Greek society.
The film begins in startling fashion with a suicide at a children's party.
The characters all seem beaten down and oppressed, under the yoke of an abusive patriarch (Themis Panou).
This is a stark, joyless tale, but one that is very well directed by Alexandros Avranas. It has quite a kick.
