    A film by Costa-Gavras
    This is a film by Costa-Gavras, whose film "Z" (1969) I enjoyed very much. This film is also great. It was made in 1993. In the cast is Andreas Voutsinas, memorable as Carmen Giya in Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS (1968) and as Bearnaise in Mel Brooks' HISTORY OF THE WORLD-PART 1 (1981).
