SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 31, 2023 | SaltWireLONDON - Greek filmmaker Christos Nikou's English-language debut imagines a world where dating apps are out and couples search for true love through fingernail samples and science.
At the start, each sacrificed an entire fingernail for the tests which are supposed to eliminate all uncertainties and risks associated with love, including divorce. "I was trying to understand what is love and why a lot of people are using all these dating apps and how technology has changed the way we experience a lot of things," Nikou told Reuters.
The only clear link to the present is a scene featuring a cinema running a retrospective of films starring Hugh Grant, and a reference to one of his most famous rom-coms,"Notting Hill".
