Watch Days Of '36

When a politician is murdered in broad daylight, the suspects rounded up include Sofianos, who doggedly maintains his innocence. But when a minister visits his cell, Sofianos tricks his warders and takes the man hostage, threatening to kill him unless he is granted freedom. A political crisis brews as the prison governors' and politicians' desperate attempts to defuse the situation are paralysed by indecision. Acclaimed director Theo Angelopoulos' film is a brilliantly photographed and tense thriller based on actual events that took place in Greece in 1936.
