Info

Set over four days of unrelenting wind and rain in a remote village high up in the Nafpaktia Mountains in the west of Greece, the film follows the lives of two shepherd families struggling to live. The village, now forgotten and near deserted, has had its best days. Paxnis, the old white haired shepherd, who had foreseen the trouble this land would face has already given into despair. Giorgos unable to sell his goats and with debts mounting up, drinks to forget. Combining documentary and fiction with an all local cast 'To the Wolf ' is both the reality and an unsettling allegory for today's Greece

To the Wolf Audience Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
kosmasp And I'm not talking about the geographical "Drama", but the actual "heartfelt" one. As a Greek I can understand where this is coming from and I know and have lived some of the conversations (or variations of them). That said, the doesn't really achieve what it sets out for. While its interesting concept is enchanting at first, it does get repetitive fairly quickly.At the Berlin International Film Festival the filmmakers had to go through fire during the Q&A. Some of it wasn't fair to them or the movie. The filmmaking situation in Greece isn't the best, considering the overall financial situation. One of the problems though is that there is a tendency to overdramatize things. Like sulking up to ones own sorrow. The movie captures that pretty good, but while its sometimes refreshing to see non-actors, they also fall into the trap of repeating themselves. While short and under the disguise of "documentary" (it still is a fictionalized story) and surely made with a lot passion and little money, this should not be seen as more than an exercise to hopefully some better work in the future
