Synopsis

Inspired by the turbulent life of legendary Rebetico singer Marika Ninou, Costas Ferris recounts the tragic story of Marika, a talented female Rebetico singer, from her birth in Smyrna in 1917 until her untimely demise in Athens in 1955.

As young Marika's family finds refuge in Greece, in the aftermath of the Great Fire of Smyrna and the Asia Minor disaster, Costas Ferris portrays a fragile sociopolitical equilibrium and pivotal historical events, incorporating authentic newsreels into Marika's career journey.

Rebetico follows her first steps as a singer in the backstreet taverns of bustling Piraeus Port, her relationship with her mentor Babis, her success in the nightclubs of America, and finally, her death.

3/10

The compositions seemed disconnected from the narrative, making it difficult to immerse myself in Marika's story through the music. The lack of cohesion between the scenes and the soundtrack undermined the impact of pivotal moments in Marika's life, resulting in a superficial and unengaging musical experience.

The soundtrack of Rebetico failed to capture the emotional depth and complexity of Marika Ninou's turbulent life journey. The music felt generic and lacked the authentic essence of Rebetico music style, failing to evoke the raw emotions and struggles depicted in the film.
