A lonely student develops an erotic obsession with an unknown married woman, who lives in the apartment across the street. As their contact gradually moves from the telescope to the telephone, before hitting a wall due to the unbridgeable gap between them, Giorgos Panousopoulos sneaks into the reality of '80s Athens in the same voyeuristic manner as his protagonist.
One of the best and most universal Greek films, «A Foolish Love» is a reflection on the ways the urban landscape blocks desire, substituting it with the voyeuristic pleasure of seeing. Aris Retsos and Betty Livanou are exceptional in their respective roles, which are considered to be among the best of their careers. N.S.
