Movies by Vasilis Katsoupis

Vasilis Katsoupis is a boundary-pushing Greek filmmaker whose work defies conventional genre expectations. With a singular visual style and a keen eye for the absurd, Katsoupis crafts films that are as intellectually stimulating as they are emotionally resonant. Katsoupis first came to prominence with his 2015 feature debut, "My Friend Larry Gus," a surreal, darkly comedic exploration of loneliness and existential ennui set against the backdrop of Athens' underground music scene. Blending naturalistic performances with dreamlike imagery, the film established Katsoupis as a distinctive new voice in world cinema, one unafraid to grapple with life's big questions through the lens of the unconventional. This penchant for the unexpected has only become more pronounced in Katsoupis' subsequent work. His 2023 thriller "Inside" is a taut, claustrophobic chamber piece that unfolds entirely within the confines of a luxury apartment, while his latest film, the enigmatic "Avrio Vrady" (2025), sees him venturing into more abstract, experimental territory. Yet throughout his filmography, Katsoupis maintains a consistent thematic focus on the human condition, using genre tropes and formal experimentation to illuminate the complexities of modern life.
