, dance has long been utilised by directors to execute their more cathartic scenes. In Christos Nikou’sstarts playing in an Athens bar, Aris slinks onto the dancefloor, his body moving in time to the music as one hand remains clasped around his drink. The scene, which was shot in a single take, provides Aris temporary respite from the film’s curious condition, while the track speaks to the feature’s ambiguous age.
In a similar vein, the film’s title was determined by multiple components. In part a tribute to Nikou’s late father – a man capable of consuming eight apples a day and who had fantastic memory – elsewhere it references our collective reliance on electronic hardware. “I feel like right now, we store our data mostly in devices,” says Nikou. “Technology has affected our memory and we store our data mostly in devices not in our minds, and most of the time these devices are from the company Apple.
Still, despite the director’s reluctance to indulge in modern gadgets, he inserts valuable cultural references into the film, setting up scenarios that rely on a relative understanding of prominent moments in recent entertainment history. In the case of a paramedic who asks a group of partygoers, sincerely, if “anyone knows Batman” , the context is comedic. Later, Aris befriends another amnesiac called Anna outside a cinema, who advises him on taking better pictures for his development album.
