Very intense, harrowing account of an innocent woman arrested and questioned/tortured by the secret police. Her ordeal goes on for five years during which she loses her youth, her beauty, her innocence...but maintains a core of independence and pride that stands as an act of defiance toward her persecutors.
Extremely well done in all respects with a special nod to the lead actress who gives an incredible, unforgettable performance.
It would be nice to see this film as a swan song for amoral tyranny but it lives and thrives to this day.
