Akillas Karazissis is among the most prominent actors of Greece: he has already portrayed Faust and Stalin, and most recently acted in Milo Raus Empire. When he was 20 years old, he had a haircut like Jimmy Hendrix, read many books, smoked just as much hashish, and could never have imagined becoming an actor someday. Now he is taking his old bell-bottoms back out of the closet and his literary idols of the past back off of the shelf: Walter Benjamin, Oskar A. H. Schmitz, Allen Ginsberg and Elias Petropoulos. They all have written wonderfully precise and poetic texts about their experiences with hashish and other drugs. A bizarre retro-intoxication.
