"Super Paradise" - greek movie with English subtitles
SYNOPSIS
Over the past 70 years, Mykonos has experienced transformations that test the limits of imagination ― it was dirt cheap, today it’s unaffordable; it was “off-the-beaten-track,” today it’s a top destination; it was inclusive, today it’s exclusive. So, what happened? How did a tiny island become a melting pot for such radically divergent experiences? Was it paradise? Is it still?
A variety of cinematic tools are used to transport viewers from poverty-stricken post-WWII Mykonos to the halcyon days of the 1970s to the island as it is today. Archival material, Super 8 re-enactments, drone and cell phone footage, retro animation ― we energetically mash up different formats because THAT reflects the Mykonian experience, which ranges from the peaceful calm of an idyllic beach to an all-night rager.
The material is intercut with exclusive interviews, a mosaic of people of all ages from different walks of life ― locals, internationals, intellectuals, artists, farmers, bar owners ― all offering a unique perspective on the Mykonian experience and providing a behind-the-scenes, intimate view of a complicated and fascinating island.
