Ugo Tognazzi (La grande bouffe) is an innocent playboy holiday rep in Greece who is picked up by two secret agents (Michel Piccoli, Le Mépris and Mario Adorf, The Italian Connection). Suspected of being part of an underground resistance, he is to be transported by the agents to Athens where he will be interrogated by superior officers. Their journey is the start of a cat-and-mouse game that beautifully plays on Tognazzi's screen persona with the thrilling tension of Costa-Gavras' Z. Newly restored in 4K by Studio Canal, Peter Fleischmann's paranoid thriller is made available on Blu-ray for the first time.
