An epic tale of degradation, The Greek Tragedy follows 30-year-old American Julian Jakos into the underbelly of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. What begins as a wide-eyed cultural observation quickly turns to the seedier side of Southeast Asia as Julian becomes immersed in the expat bar scene of Pham Ngu Lao. Making friends with a feral lot of international drunks Julian is bound by misadventures amid a terse Vietnamese culture and a sex life as cruel as it is pleasurable. It's just another night after the English lessons when Mama Phuong's spliffs start going around. Before long the bar-girls hover, reaching for your lap and repeating, "You want boom boom baby?" Let the madness begin.
