About Love(1981)

About Love is a two-part Greek film exploring desire and emotional turmoil in early 1980s Athens. The first segment, "Chrisanthi," follows a woman whose narcissism and repressed sexuality lead to destructive relationships and erotic violence. The second, "Iason," centers on a young man caught between two women, wrestling with obsessive passion, rejection, and self-destructive impulses. Both stories examine how uncontrolled desire creates psychological conflict and emotional impasse. Set against a specific historical moment, the film presents a frank, unflinching portrait of how love and sexuality can become sources of pain rather than connection. The dual narrative structure allows the film to explore masculine and feminine perspectives on the same fundamental human struggle.
