If Antonis Tsonis’s debut is any indication, the Weird Wave is experiencing a second wind. The first Greek-language film in Slamdance’s narrative competition, Brando with a Glass Eye takes the country’s proclivity for cinematic strangeness into bold, uncharted territories with this metatextual tale of a wannabe actor (Yiannis Niarros) who resorts to crime to finance a trip to New York’s famed Acting Studio. When a bystander is shot during a botched heist job, the Brando-obsessive goes Method and befriends the victim in an increasingly unhinged bid for personal salvation. Steeped in the influence of New Hollywood cinema, Tsonis’s confident, curious debut is a mise en abyme about the movies and the art (and artifice) of performance.
