The Other Alexander

Margarita Liberaki's The Other Alexander is on the surface a story about a repressive father who leads a double life — with two separate families who eventually meet — but it tries to do a bit too much as it becomes an allegory about the opposing yin-and-yang forces in our own identities. "[T]he ocean is the same in all its moments: here there is calm and there tempest; and where there is tempest here, there is calm somewhere else. Only its parts change, not the whole. The ocean is always the same with itself. And only man in his foolishness sees it differently."
