Release

The film was screened in the main competition at the 46th edition of the Venice Film Festival.[1]

Reception

The film won the Greek Ministry of Culture Prize.[2] A contemporary Variety review described it as a film that 'cements helmer George Panoussopoulos' reputation as an ace cameraman and inventive visual stylist' and that 'could hook an audience on eye appeal alone, but rapid changes of cast and settings deprive it of adequate character development'.[3] La Stampa's film critic Stefano Reggiani criticized the film, pointing that 'the only credit that must be given' to it is 'the considerable collection of female buttocks and breasts'.[4]
