For mysterious reasons, here we have a film that's revered as few. Especially in Greece, where I live, it's considered a classic due to the score having been written by Mikis Theodorakis, a composer with a semi-god status. Sure enough, the music is brilliant, but completely out of context. It just doesn't fit to this movie, period. Now about Al, he deals very well with what he's got, but what he's got is a poser 70s film. Yes we have a story that has actually happened, but the representation and the dialogues are annoyingly stylish and some characters (especially the females) are void of content and personality. It doesn't work. In fact it's a lesson of how to make a real story appear unrealistic.
