At the heart of the film is a complex criminal investigation, but you don’t have to follow all the twists and turns of that investigation to appreciate the film.
The beauty of this film lies not in its detail – and there is certainly a lot of that – but in its overall construction, in its use of unusual editing and photography, reinforced by an astonishing soundtrack, to totally engross the viewer.
The film was directed by the Greek Constantinos Gavrás (known also as Costa-Gavras), son of a Russian emigrant who suffered harassment as a suspected communist when he settled in Greece in the 1930s.
