      An extensive study
      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.
