Plot

A hunting party finds a body of a guerrilla.

Sinekatalog’s take

Theo Angelopoulos's historical allegory begins when a hunting party discovers a guerrilla's body and slides into memory of Greece's turbulent history. Long takes and sudden time jumps make it a dense, haunting and political film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
