Old friends, Greek islands, and unexpected adventures await.
Two Tickets to Greece (original title Les Cyclades) is a charming 2022 French comedy directed by Marc Fitoussi, known for his work on Call My Agent! and Folies Bergere. Featuring standout performances by Laure Calamy, Olivia Côte, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient), the film has won praise for its warm humour and picturesque setting, holding a solid 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The story centres on Blandine (Olivia Côte), a recently divorced woman struggling to come to terms with her son leaving home. She reconnects with her childhood friend Magalie (Laure Calamy), and together they set off on a long-anticipated trip to the Greek island of Amorgos — famously known as the filming location for Luc Besson’s The Big Blue. However, their reunion is far from seamless; clashing personalities and a string of unexpected encounters spark a series of comedic and heartfelt misadventures. Kristin Scott Thomas adds flair as Bijou, an eccentric jewellery designer who brings her own surprises to the journey.
Shot across the stunning Greek islands of Amorgos, Mykonos, and Santorini, Two Tickets to Greece beautifully captures the serene and sun-drenched landscapes of the Aegean Sea, providing viewers with a visual treat that complements the film’s light and breezy tone.
