This weekend:
5TH AVENUE CINEMA PRESENTS
Apples
Dir. christos nikou (2020); greece, poland, & slovenia; 90 min
Programmed by: Clara Johnson
Imagine one day you wake up with no memories of anything prior and are given the opportunity to become a new person. In a world where an unpredictable pandemic causes people to develop sudden amnesia, personal identity becomes a topic of great concern. In a fleeting moment, it could be back to day one, or so it seems. Apples follows a middle-aged man as he finds himself enrolled in a program designed to give him a new identity, but he has to complete a list of strange activities each day and take a polaroid as proof of its completion. Following the Greek Weird Wave, director Christos Nikou creates something short and crisp, but certainly not sweet, as he grounds the film in a feeling of melancholic ambiguity.
