Storyline

Provides an extraordinary account of low cunning at the heart of Greece's 2015 financial bailout. The more defiant the left-wing Syriza government became, the more it was met with intimidation from some or duplicitous reassurance from others. Written by Ulf Kjel Gür

Not as good as his previous films
9 October 2019 | by bright10 – See all my reviews

Well, I am a fan of Mr. Costa-Gavras and I have seen the majority of his movies but I had expected something more than that film. Although Mr. Gavras insisted that his film was fiction no matter whether it was based on Varoufakis' book I expected that it would depict the intensity of those days and although the film can be seen with real interest by the spectators it lacks intensity, passion. In comparison with his previous movies I would describe it as flat.
