” is a stunning, stylized triptych that follows the stories of mercenaries Yorgos, Costa and Victor.
Variety caught up with Rentis, who explained that his doc was seven years in the making as he faced the challenge of finding a shipping company willing to allow them onboard, getting the go ahead from maritime security and casting his characters. His inspiration came from his uncle, Victor, one of the first privately hired mercenaries in the region.
Only two female characters – the mercenaries’ partners – appear briefly in this male dominated doc, but “it was very important for me to have a female presence,” said Rentis, “it anchors the film; it starts the film and ends it.” “They would say very openly, ‘We love ‘The Terminator.’ ‘ My uncle said his dream was to be the bad guy in a movie, and when the good guy would kill him, the whole cinema would cheer.”
