Expertly straddling documentary and fiction, Sto lyko incorporates images of a savage beauty, non-professional actors cast in the local area and a keen eye for quotidian details to create a piercing evocation of rural despair all the more striking for its double-headed nature: at once a chilling snapshot of provincial Greece in crisis and an allegorical drama of elemental, apocalyptic power.
