Tripoli Cancelled

A pilot is trapped in a crumbling, abandoned airport. Naeem Mohaiemen's first fiction film is based on when his father was stranded without a passport in Athens' Ellinikon International Airport for nine days in 1977.

Visually stunning and with a great soundtrack too. The lead does his role well and the flow is quite steady and has some beautiful poetic moments and pseudo realistic grain to it. Yet I feel like I should appreciate it more than I did. Maybe I was just not in the mood for this arthouse flick tonight.
