Viewing Notes
Set in Prague but filmed in Zagreb Croatia, the film puts the city to good use. It feels European and yet still foreign which gives it a more menacing and unsettling atmosphere. Both the cinematography and Morricone’s score are excellent.
This is more political allegory than giallo. Other than the premise I remembered nothing about this even though I’d watched it before.
