For his 19th feature film, the Franco-Greek director continues his critical work, filming in his native land for the very first time. In this modern Greek tragedy, Costa Gavras paints a feverish, unrelenting portrait of the economic and diplomatic crisis that gripped Greece in 2015. By adapting the controversial memoirs of former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, who spent six months developing a negotiation and financial rescue plan for the country, the 86-year-old director exposes the scheming and manipulation that went on behind the scenes of an unprecedented and painful episode of political theatre.
“Adults in the Room navigates those treacherous political waters with great skill, condensing a labyrinthine political and economic situation into a thrilling soap opera.”
