Don’t speak Greek? That’s cool, me neither. BUT I do know the meaning of the above, and I also know it’s gonna come in real useful next time I visit Greece… So, not so long ago my boyfriend and I were making Mousaka. He told me there was a film called ‘Attack of the Giant Mousaka’. I told him to be quiet and silently wondered whether he’d lost the plot slightly. He told me he’d bet me dinner at a restaurant that he was not lying. And what do you know? HE WON! WTF?!? Ah yes, of course! ‘I epithesi tou gigantiaiou mousaka’ translates as ‘Attack of the giant mousaka’. OBVIOUSLY.
The plot summary for this film (courtesy of imdb) is: ‘Around the year 2000, a terrible occurence shocks the city of Athens: a huge piece of moussaka appears on the city streets, spreading panic and death. Everyone keeps wondering: why, where, how, for what reason? But no one can give an answer…’
Probably because no one has EVER seen the film (clearly including the literary sweetheart that wrote that imdb entry). Until now that is. I’m going to watch this whilst eating mousaka. Scary. It’ll be just like eating honey and watching Candyman. Except probably more frightening.
Lets watch an extract. Sorry if you don’t speak French – for some baffling reason I could only find the film with French subtitles, which actually may explain why my French boyfriend is the only person I know that has ever heard of this film. Hmmm, anyway…
Delicious.
