Interesting story...

"God Loves Caviar" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we follow the story of Ioannis Varvakis, a Greek pirate who became a successful businessman from selling caviar all over the world.I liked this movie because it was interesting and I learned something from it since I didn't know who Ioannis Varvakis was and what he did. The direction which was made by Yannis Smaragdis was for one more time exceptional (taking into consideration the budget of the movie) and equally good with another movie of his "El Greco" of 2007. The interpretation of Sebastian Koch who played as Ioannis Varvakis was simply amazing and he did an excellent job. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Marisha Triantafyllidou's who played as Maria, Juan Diego Botto's who played as Lefentarios and Catherine Deneuve's who played as Catherine the Great. Finally, I have to say that "God Loves Caviar" is an interesting movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

Good acting, not good technically

I will agree with tinakewy's review. The screenplay was confusing a lot. I liked the actors a lot, especially the Greeks who were very serious with their roles. They didn't look like the usual Greek actors. I also really liked the mother of Varvakis when she came down to earth to talk with him. Her expressions and her eyes were very beautiful.

I would like to mention some technical issues that I noticed. Is it possible to have Out of Focus shots? There were lots of shots like this and there weren't a screenplay reason. It was a technical mistake. Even if the budget was low, controlling Focus is a basic thing. In some cases the video editing was a bit disturbing, too. You could tell the cuts. Also, the dubbing was noticeable in some cases.

I would really like to watch a great story, a great film as a Greek. But it wasn't that great.

Thank you.
