Watch Spectres are Haunting Europe For Free
Spectres are Haunting Europe
The Idomeni refugee camp housed people from the Middle East who were trying to cross the border into Europe. When the Greek police closed the camp, the refugees resisted and blocked a railway line used to deliver goods. Maria Kourkouta’s minimalist documentary not only observes these events but also presents carefully modeled static images that open up the space within and without the frame of view, and in the closing black-and-white sequence offers a poetic commentary. The result is a bleak portrait of a place where endless lines of refugees try to preserve the final remnants of their individual freedoms. “This film is a call to welcome the refugees that cross the European borders, as well as the ghosts that return with them.”

Sadly Over-hyped
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
