Very impressive production. 5 1/2 hours long, deeply engrossing, strong lead actor, location shooting all over Europe and the ME, rapid editing rhythm which work nicely to compress several decades of material...
I would have liked more on the motivations of these revolutionaries...they were disgusted with the status quo for legitimate reasons...in fact I agree with their revulsion at the domineering system of predatory capitalism...but little of that was presented here.
Still this was an excellent treatment of a complex story and returns this filmmaker to the front ranks of world cinema after several recent stumbles.
