Kostas is a 1979 film directed by Paul Cox about a Greek taxi driver.[2]

Production

The film was shot over four weeks in March 1979. $100,000 of the budget came from the Victorian Film Corporation.[1]

Post production on the film was rushed so Cox could ready it in time for the Melbourne Film Festival which he now says was a mistake. However it was the best received of all Cox's features to date.[1]
