“If ERT condensed it into six episodes, it would have a much better budget to concentrate on the myth. My impression is that the order could be better. “
The director, Dimitris Arvanitis, spoke about the sharp criticism of ERT’s series “Maria that became Callas”, spoke on the show “Super Katerina” and unfolded his rationale for the weak elements, which he considers to have the script.
“I will agree with Mrs Radou that the series had very little money to make and it is obvious. The exterior are non -existent or they are very rough. This is one problem in the series, but the most important thing for me is its own drama and the way it evolves. It does not allow the scenario to the roles to deepen, at least in the first episodes I saw, ”he said initially. “If ERT condensed it into six episodes, it would have a much better budget to concentrate on the myth. My impression is that the series could be better, ”Mr Arvanitis added.
Dimitris Arvanitis then praised the performances of Carmen Rugger and Renia Luizidou, but was not satisfied by the protagonist of the series, Cleopatra Eleftheriadou. “For me the weak link in the series is the girl who makes Maria Callas. He is not too mature so that he can convince me of something important. That one day will become Callas. Has no guidance. You do not feel that a strong personality like Callas is coming from behind, ”the director said.
