Although he likes to play the Eternal Survivor, Janovic cannot avoid the relentless Red pursuit. The slow chase provides the picture's sporadic suspense and tragic finale. With an indefinable accent, Topol handles the script's half-aphorisms with more panache than they deserve ("It is easier to know ten lands than one man").

Along the way, audiences can review Raquel's entire body of work...
