    6/10
    A Greek locked-room murder mystery - and it's pretty good too!
    Greek cinema does not usually dabble in the crime/mystery/film noir genres (probably due to lack of resources as much as lack of know-how), but occasionally it does take a stab (no pun intended), and "Eglima Sta Paraskinia" is one such attempt - and a thoroughly respectable one at that. Good camerawork, solid performances, OK plot, atmospheric music score by Mimis Plessas. **1/2 out of 4.
