"Copa-Loca" is a Greek 14-minute live action short film from 2017 and this one was written and directed by Christos Massalas, still his most recent work, and maybe also his most successful as this movie received a pretty strong awards recognition, better than I expected. It is still his most recent work at this point right now. The central character is played by Elsa Lekakou, a girl living at an abandoned holiday ressort and enjoying sex with all kinds of men, most of whom know all about cocktails. It was maybe the randomness of it all that made this short film occasionally worth watching and the good looks and performance of the protagonist, but still she can only do so much and the script to me feels already not enough for this pretty short running time I must say, so she did not have as much to work with as I hoped she would. It never delivers as a character study, or a situational comedy or a coming-of-age film, it is a bit of everything, but not enough of anything unfortunately. Here and there we get a good scene and you may smile once or twice watching this one, but overall, it simply isn't enough in my opinion. Go watch something else instead.

Yes, I know it's only a 14-minute short film, but I want them back. Use these precious 14 minutes of your life to watch a cooking video on YT, scratch your head while watching an empty wall, or even wait over some boiling water looking at the steam. YES, all those things are more interesting and amusing than this piece of... (f)art.
