Milo Milo is a German-Greek comedy film directed by Nikos Perakis from 1979 with Mario Adorf and Andréa Ferréol in the leading roles.

action

The Parisian art world is in great excitement. Art professor Schliefeld claims that the famous Venus de Milo in the Louvre is a fake! Perhaps the original has long been back in Greece, and so all kinds of rulers are on their way to the cradle of democracy. Schliefeld's daughter, the archaeologist, Barbara also goes to the island of Milos to trace the whereabouts of the masterful work of art on site. The general meeting point is the local hotel café "Aphrodite", run by the thoroughbred Greek Thanasis. He is characterized above all by an excessive curiosity towards his guests and a no less pronounced jealousy. Because his wife is the buxom Aphrodite, the namesake of the hotel café, and the café owner with a dubious past - Aphrodite comes from the prostitute milieu in Naples - turns the heads of the men in rows.

In addition to Barbara, who soon surrenders naked to the sensual pleasures of the sun-drenched holiday island, other bizarre guests have also gathered in the hotel. There is, for example, Nicolos, who claims that he has pirate blood and who rants about a mysterious treasure. Soon he is fondling around Barbara, who is beginning to be interested in his "treasure", a great work of art. Is it actually the original “Venus”? The panopticon of the “Aphrodite” guests is completed by Louis, a true representative of the French underworld, and some Americans who want to drill holes on the island, as they suspect uranium deposits there . The hustle and bustle finally takes hold so that the remote, unspoilt landscape and innocence are soon in great danger.

Production note

Milo Milo was created in cooperation with ZDF in mid-1979 in Greece and was premiered on November 23, 1979 in Hanover.

Reviews

“A young woman who attracted attention in a Paris exhibition by claiming that the Venus de Milo was a fake comes to the Greek island and into a hotel whose strange residents all work as agents for someone. Staged in the style of a slapstick comedy with socially critical ambitions. "

"With his second film, Perakis pointed to grievances in his Greek homeland with a wink."
