Cutting edge Greek film 'Attenberg' wins Silver Alexander at TIFF 2010

Attenberg (2010) Greek film by Athina Rachel Tsangari

Summary: "Marina has grown up with her architect father in a small industrial community, almost cut off from the reality of the rest of the world. With the exception of her bizarre friendship with Bella and the companionship she shares with her ill father, Marina observes human behaviors from afar, almost with repugnance. Her guides in this world of humans are Sir David Attenborough's documentaries on mammals, the music of Suicide and the awkward sexual awakening lessons she receives from Bella. Until a young mechanic arrives in town. On this strange and simultaneously ideal canvas, namely an environment from which "normal" life is absent, Attenberg plays with a fresh - and deceptively detached - formalism, only to develop into a moving study of characters and relationships."
