Film Review: 'Miss Violence'
★☆☆☆☆"We don't have secrets in this family," Themis Panou's repulsive pater familias - who bears an uncanny resemblance to Donald Pleasance - states in Alexandros Avranas' Miss Violence (2013), the baffling winner of several awards at last year's 70th Venice Film Festival. However, when it comes to families in this kind of drama, nothing could be further from the truth. It's Angeliki's (Chloe Bolota) eleventh birthday party and her family gathers to eat cake in their antiseptic, middle-class apartment. The eldest daughter has news that she's pregnant - which she whispers to her mother - and food is put on the table. However, Angeliki mounts the balcony railing while no one is looking and plunges to her death.
