May be over-dramatic yet not that untruthful…
Any review of this film is very much depended on the angle the reviewer looks at it. And for certain it can not be free of its tragic historical background. It’s possible that a foreign viewer may consider the story of “Roza of Smyrna” too excessive and too over-dramatic to be really touched by it. This wouldn’t be the case if he new the whole story, that is to say the huge historical burden it carries for its heroes. This burden has to do with the events that marked the fall of the Ottoman empire after the end of world war 1. In brief: The Greeks invaded Asia Minor which according to their own ethic ideology/story was the cradle of their national rebirth since this area was Greek speaking before the Turks conquered it less than ten centuries ago and since by the time of the W.W1 ending, millions of Greek orthodox Christians were still living there, especially by the Black Sea coast (“Pontos”), the Aegean coast, and eastern Thrace. This invasion resulted in an unprecedented disaster for the Greeks. The Turkish troops, re-organized by their new leader Mustafa Kemal, defeated the Greek army who had to leave the area, abandoning the Greek population to the anger of the Turks, especially the numerous insurgents, guerrillas and all kinds of irregular soldiers who were fighting on the side of the regular Turkish army. Smyrna (Izmir),this amazingly developed for the standards of that time great city of the Aegean coast, a city where the prosperous Greek community was the prevailing one in power, wealth and numbers was set on fire and totally destroyed and its frantically and in horror and panic trying to escape Greek population to an unbelievable extend slaughtered. As a result of this story, the Asia Minor Greeks either fled in millions to Greece and elsewhere or left their bones on their homeland which ever since lived in the Greek collective memory as a lost Paradise. This unprecedented disaster -not really known abroad- is named by the Greeks with a single word “i Katastrophi” (with a capital K: the Disaster, the Katastroph). Well unless you know all this in details, it’s rather difficult to really understand how a Greek may approach Roza’s of Smyrna story, for it may seem too unreal, too excessive, too over-dramatic. It may be so, yet, there are so many real tragic stories about unthinkable individual human tragedies that took place during and due to those events (the “Katastroph”) that for the Greeks, no story connected to those historical events really looks unreal, exaggerated, overblown, or far-fetched. And this one, which is actually a really well made Greek-Turkish co-production is not about bad Turks and their good Greek victims. It’s a story about how any ethnic angle of viewing at it may be misleading and underestimating the human factor (the simple ordinary people who are the victims of their national-political leaders)and thus unjust. This is the message delivered to the main character of the film through his investigation and his efforts to unveil the secret that Roza, an old lady descending from Smyrna living in Athens, persistently tries to keep for herself. The title of the film could be “Roza’s secret”, and i think one may find quite thrilling the process of unveiling it, and once it’s uncovered, he may justify the dramatic reaction of its carriers, and thus be really touched and deeply moved.

Wonderful love story!!
I loved this story! I have seen it twice, and it’s a jewel! The acting is superb, the photography is wonderful, the music is outstanding, and the plot and suspense kept me on my seat. History unfolds in this captivating movie as does the mystery of a woman’s stained wedding dress from the time of 1922 Smyrna.

Dimitris is busy preparing for an exhibition in Athens with his girlfriend, Rita. During a trip to Izmar, he finds a wedding dress, stained with blood, and a letter inside addressed to the wedding dress owner, Roza. The dress is antique, during the time of the 1922 event of the Fire in Smyrna. He buys it and plans to use it at the exhibition. Like a detective story, he slowly unearths the truth behind the wedding dress, showing us glimpses of the history behind it and the people and customs of those times. In his search for Roza, he also meets Marianna, a sweet beautiful artist. Their love story is a highlight of the movie. The end is quite revealing and somewhat sad, but I still enjoyed everything about this story!

If you are a lover of exotic romance stories and mysteries, this is a movie for you! I also liked the message it gave – it not only captures a time period in history, but moves beyond it and suggests a better approach to humanity – to love one another, no matter the country you’re born in or your religion, and no matter the past.
