Stumbled upon this movie while going through Irene Papas' filmography. I had no sense for it going in, but now I feel like I need to watch more of Michael Cacoyannis' work, because this was breathtaking.

It was slow at first, but that last hour more than made up for it.

Like that ending scene!? actual chills. there were def some slow moments that I could’ve done without, but still great.

The tone is a little sloppier than the first one, but the pace is faster, so I think it really boils down to personal tastes as far as which one's better. Personally, I had a…
