Really desperately disappointing film. Viewed it because Willem Davoe was involved. He appears in this as a rather diminutive man attempting to gain height and volume by displaying a vast growth of hair and always wearing a wide-shouldered, heavy-weather anorak. But I could tolerate this. The film has a plot which attempts a murky exploration of Totalitarianism and the predicament of those caught on the wrong side. It is of child-book, comic-book depth. But again I could put up with that. It is the quality of the direction and the acting which makes this film such an embarrassment. It was abysmal - so poor that I cannot understand why any Producer would have undertaken such a project. But there is one positive feature. Students of film can learn from this how ideological determination and money, combined, can be used to virtually convince the world that a 'work of art' has been produced.
