Sappho

Sappho (2008) is a joint Greek-Ukrainian drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Crombie. A newlywed couple flies to the island of Lesbos: he's an aspiring painter, she's a rich man's daughter who's never heard the word no.

Then a red-haired woman named Helena arrives and reshapes what should have been a simple holiday. The three-way entanglement that follows echoes the mythology surrounding the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Starring Avalon Barrie and Ukrainian stage legend Bohdan Stupka, the film is slow and sensory, more interested in desire than in plot mechanics. Stream Sappho (2008) online on iFILM.
