Electric Angel poster

Released in 1981, Electric Angel is a fantasy and romance film directed by Thanasis Rentzis, running about 90 minutes.

What it’s about. A typical experimental film, in which a variety of audiovisual techniques are used to create the sense of polymorphic eroticism as developed by European and Mediterranean cinematography of the 20th century. Combining the methods of “animation” and “live action”, this intricate work embodies the idea of an “ars combinatoria”. The structure is loose, with neither a central axis nor a point where everything converges, contributing greatly to the open-ended character of the film, where rhythm is the key element.

Who’s in it. Electric Angel stars Faidon Georgitsis, Sofia Roubou, Giorgos Kotanidis and Marili Tsopanelli, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Electric Angel has proved divisive with audiences.
