Stephen Saito Even without the “Welcome to Marathon” flyer that greets Katerina (Angeliki Papoulia) and Yannis (Vangelis Mourikis) upon their arrival in “Arcadia,” it’s clear that they’ve entered one of Greece’s stranger corners: a resort town where they will look into the untimely death of a loved one.
An unnerving and curious meditation on grief, Yorgos Zois’ second feature will satiate those looking for deeper cuts from the Greek Weird Wave than Yorgos Lanthimos and Christos Nikou, but will hold limited appeal for those who generally look to find comfort at the movies; Zois offers more of the opposite.
