Featured reviews
The film is very good and the study extensive. The point is not the psychopath killer but the victim, and this is not as well documented as the former for the sake of suspense of the police movie genre. The story allows to debase the victim on grounds of being promiscuous but we should remember we are still at 1973 Greece. Other than that it is a must see. Ms Marketaki the woman who directed the film does a good job given that she has to fight on every side for this result.
Definitely one of the best ever Greek films. Unfortunately, in Greece we do not discuss a lot this masterpiece.The construction of the film has been constructed geniously in many levels. I think that the young - and also the older - directors should study on this film and pay the prompt attention even after 10 and more years after the death of the creator...the film combines and interacts between psychological, social, ideological level in a very sensitive period for the Greek society...The characters are complete and they project to the social context.. Definitely Tonia Marketaki was one of the greatest Greek Auters.She could stand profoundly next to Angelopoulos or Boulgaris
I highly recommend this film...
