“A poetic vision of a country in disarray, trying to find what is left of the humanity that binds us.”– Domenico La Porta, Cineuropa.org
"Disregarding the norms of mainstream cinema, Red City marks an ambitious debut from Manos Cížek who employs non-pros and takes cues from performance and installation art, music videos and documentaries, inter alia, to create a work that has an abstract and eclectic feel to it.
Red City is the meeting point of poetry, alchemy, philosophy, science fiction, Greek mythology, revolutionary spirit and Remodernist sensibilities... It provides us with plenty of eye-candy shrouded in a thick sonic haze." – Nikola Gocic, Taste of Cinema
RED CITY is an arthouse sci-fi thriller that metabolizes the current economic crisis in Greece and the crisis in morals and values that seems to accompany it. A semi-experimental adaptation of the poetry of Dinos Christianopoulos and Maria Tataraki, Red City offers a dystopian vision of a futuristic Athens, where the atmosphere is troubled due to a Delphic malfunction within the android community which has lead several androids to revolt against their masters.
“At the edges of video art, experimental cinema or even of a cinematic genre that the term that can describe it has not yet been invented.” – Manolis Kranakis, Flix.gr
“Manos Cížek proves that he manages a conquered cinematic language.” – Alexis N. Dermentzoglou, Center for Cinema Study & Research
“I was moved upon watching Red City because Manos Cížek reminded me of myself, when I first started out as a poet. Manos excited me as a voice of his era.” – Dinos Christianopoulos
