Greek Oscar entry Broken Vein

Overview

The Greek Ministry of Culture selected the film ‘Broken Vein’ (Spasmeni Fleva), directed by Giannis Economides, as the official Greek submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the 99th Academy Awards. A specialized committee recommended the film, noting its technical proficiency and its ability to reinterpret ancient tragedy within a modern setting.

Following the selection, director Giannis Oikonomidis addressed criticisms regarding the film’s use of profanity. He defended the dialogue, stating that the characters use ‘harsh language’ to reflect their social backgrounds and maintain realism, rather than swearing aimlessly.
