Review

reminded me of pontecorvo’s “battle of algiers.” it’s the story of an assassination of a greek official and the revolutionaries involved in covering it up and uncovering the twisted plot. i think i enjoyed the battle of algiers more because it’s paced better and does a better job of showing the details of both sides. the beginning and end are the most exciting.
