About The Wicked World of Thanasis
The film presents seven short stories of everyday madness: parking in Athens. Thanasis, the soccer referee. Thanasis, the projectionist at a porn theater. Thanasis, the extra in a pasta commercial. Thanasis, the hospital director. Thanasis, the undertaker. Thanasis, the sailor who suspects his wife is cheating on him.
Directed by Dinos Katsouridis, The Wicked World of Thanasis leans on a strong ensemble — Thanasis Veggos, Stefanos Linaios, Vasia Trifylli — 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 comedy titles of 1979.
