This 1963 Greek drama directed by Vassilis Giorgadis, starring Jenny Karezi, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film and for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
In the 1960s, some Greek composers reached an international status with popular films featuring the bouzouki, such as Zorba the Greek and Never on Sunday.
Less known abroad than Mikis Theodorakis and Manos Hadjidakis, Stavros Xarchakos remains nevertheless a revered composer and conductor in his country. Author of 42 albums and 21 soundtracks for film and television, he has collaborated with Werner Herzog (Signs of Life) and the BBC (miniseries The Dark Side of the Sun).
The Red Lanterns original soundtrack offers a great variety of themes of outstanding richness, including dances and songs performed on the screen. A feeling of melancholy and dramatic tension emerge from the whole, perfectly reflecting the universe of this film centrered on the lives of a few prostitutes in the city of Piraeus. We witness their intricate relationships with both their pimps and customers.
The Red Lanterns is somewhat the opposite side of the joyful and carefree universe portrayed in Jules Dassin's Never on Sunday.
