6/09 SATURDAY: Greek Identity - El Greco

Set in the 16th century, ''El Greco'' tells the epic story of the renowned Greek painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos - later known as El Greco - from his youth in Crete to his rise as a visionary artist in Venice and Spain. A tale of passion, art, and spiritual defiance, the film follows his struggle for creative freedom against religious and political oppression.
Richly cinematic and emotionally charged, ''El Greco'' is more than a biopic - it's a celebration of individuality, beauty, and the power of inner light and raises the question: ''Can the darkness condemn the light?''
