About The Death of the Young Man
We are in the mid-19th century, in a village where a matchmaker, Panousis, convinces the widowed lord Artemis Lycopanagos to give his daughter, Pothiti, to his worthy beau, Avgeris, and himself to marry the beautiful Poulias. The matchmaking is completed and the parents of the two young people accept the union, without knowing that their children love each other madly. Avgeris, who does not want to betray his beloved, refuses to take Pothiti as his wife and comes into conflict with Lycopanagos, and is killed. Poulias is forced to take refuge in a monastery, and shortly afterwards she dies in turn.
Directed by Giorgos Dizikirikis, The Death of the Young Man leans on a strong ensemble — Haris Kerasiotis, Eleni Stavropoulou, Malaina Anousaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1961.
