Smyrna review – raw, shocking violence in epic take on Greek-Turkish conflictThis epic historical drama could have been called Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor or Once Upon a Time in Turkey, depending on which side of the Greek-Turkish divide you sit. That thorny geopolitical entanglement is what it attempts to unpick, sometimes too forcefully, in telling the story of the one-time melting pot of Smyrna (now İzmir).

At a muscular 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), Connery was initially met with disapproval from Fleming, who believed he was an overgrown stuntman lacking the finesse and elegance to play James Bond; he envisaged a suave actor, such as David Niven, playing the role. Producer Albert R. Broccoli—known to all as Cubby—disagreed with Fleming's view, later commenting that "I wanted a ballsy guy ... put a bit of veneer over that tough Scottish hide and you've got Fleming's Bond instead of all the mincing poofs we had applying for the job"

New Documentary Captures Greek Resistance to Nazis and Holocaust in WWII “I’m a Greek but it seems I’m kind of different from my fellow countrymen. Most of the people in my family have uncommon names that don’t really sound Greek like Rachel, Daniel, and Nissan. Till the 1940s, these names were not uncommon in my country. But while I was growing up, they were. My grandfather had an uncommon name, as well: Lian. I never met him. Mom describes him as adorable, charming, and funny. His life was just as uncommon…” This is the introduction to the ground-breaking documentary film “My People” by Anna Rezan, whose grandfather Lian was arrested by German Nazi occupiers in Athens during WWII. Rezan’s Jewish great-grandmother, Rachel, was deported and lost her life in Auschwitz.

A surprising Greek crime drama series has cracked the Netflix top 10Usually, the Top-10 list on Netflix is just a roundup of its newest big Netflix originals, sometimes with the odd classic movie that's just been added to the service in there for good measure. However, that's not the case right now.In the US, the Netflix Top 10 list of TV shows has a surprise entry at number 10: Maestro in Blue.Why's this surprising? Firstly, it's the only entry in the Top 10 that's not a Netflix Original. All of the other shows are ones created for Netflix. Secondly, it's the first-ever Greek series to hit Netflix (not including shows based on, or focusing on, Ancient Greek stories).In the UK, Maestro in Blue isn't on the list, though it is available on the service.
