Reception

Dark Odyssey was favorably reviewed by The New York Times.[4][5] According to film reviewer Howard Thompson, the film is a "thoughtful, unpretentious and creatively turned little drama ... a fresh, economical approach to an ancient dramaturgical formula".[4] Gary Morris, another film reviewer, describes the film as having "visual beauty and emotional power" and being a "literal Greek tragedy shot on location in New York City".[6] Film critic Dan Georgakas describes the film as the "best film featuring Greek American characters ever made".[7] Dark Odyssey has been described, by one reviewer, as having a neorealistic style similar to Elia KazanШаблон:'s On the Waterfront (1954) and Martin RittШаблон:'s Edge of the City (1957).[8]

Notes

According to one film reviewer, Radley Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle".[9] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography".[10] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.[11][12][13][14]
