REVIEWS & SUMMARIES
Library Journal ReviewCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
great looking film submitted by shumoon on January 19, 2017, 12:02pm This film is both a political allegory and crime drama. Not a whodunit but a how-was-it-done. The film shows how susceptible a middle-income nation could become to dictatorship. The film both alludes to the Greek coup and foreshadows the coup in Chile. If you liked Battle of Algiers, you'll like this French film even more.
