Pause ( Greek: Παύση, romanized: Pafsi) is a 2018 Cypriot drama film directed by Tonia Mishiali and starring Stella Fyrogeni. [2]
Pause was filmed in and around Nicosia, Cyprus's capital, in February and March 2017. [3] [4] [5]
A Cypriot housewife reaches menopause and decides she will no longer tolerate her husband's abuse and disrespect. She enters a world of violent and disturbing fantasies.
Pause premiered at the 2018 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, as part of the "East of the West" programme. [1] The Hollywood Reporter called it "a work of considerable tonal complexity, as it stirs moments of pitch-black humor and short and violent reveries into an otherwise austerely told tale of spousal strife that wants to smash the patriarchy with feats of cinematic derring-do." [6] [7]
In What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities and You, Heather Corinna noted that Pause offered "one of the rare sympathetic descriptions of a menopausal mental health struggle." [8]
