Reviews

As Ninos Mikelides wrote: "Mazomenos records the route of his tragic hero through images selected with thought, images artistically wonderful, with lightings that clearly present the psychological state of the persons. The route of the Afghan immigrant gives the director the opportunity to present us cared and inspired pictures of the sad life of immigrants in our country, to conclude with the amazing, shocking images in the finale. Mazomenos managed with that to give us a strong film".[4]

gollark: Like I said, in informational videos and stuff, usually the moving pictures would be better off as static infographics.
gollark: Informational texts are kind of less so.
gollark: That's a story. Those are in order.
gollark: Yes, that. I alt-tab lots.
gollark: Podcasts have most of the same problems, too.
