CHARITONAS' CHOIR - Nikos Platyrachos

CHARITON’S CHOIR

“Chariton’s Choir” is a comedy with intense characteristics of nostalgia, retro ambience, surrealist mood, love affair tension and twists and most importantly optimism. The film is directed by Grigoris Karantinakis, starring Georges Corraface, Maria Nafpliotou and Akilas Karazissis. Nikos Platyrachos’ music will either align with the action, or exaggerate, or even fully contradict the acting. It highlights the comic character of the film as well as the concealed spikes in the script. The shading of the musical ambience is injected with nostalgic mood, heavy Greek influence and various references in retrospect (1968).
