Review of Athena (2022) by Siddhant Adlakha for Polygon — 26 Sep 2022
Athena is arguably a style-over-substance movie, given how little time and attention it devotes to the personal drama underlying its politics. But in Gavras’ hands, the style is also the substance, with a restrained classicism giving way to baroque staging as each long take accelerates.
Scenes build in ways that feel both narratively inevitable and visually prophetic.
