The Career of Nikos Dyzma
Comedy
Nikos is a master of funeral ceremonies (that's undertaker to you and me) who doesn't expect much from life. After drunkenly insulting a diplomat at a party, weird things begin to happen for Nikos. The news that a mysterious stranger offended the hated Deputy Prime Minister galvanizes the political elite assembled at the banquet, and a rumor that Nikos can take care of anything spreads like wildfire, making him an idol of the masses.
VIBE
This film feels like a darkly funny, absurd romp through the corrupt underbelly of power. It's a cynical, satirical look at ambition and social climbing, delivered with a steady pace and a wink.
