Expulsion from the Council of Europe, which is a sort of powerless but prestigious mini-U.N., will further tarnish the prestige of the Greek regime.

He has done everything, and yet, he always wants the same thing from his audience-total distrust. Cynicism of the nastiest sort creeps into all of his work. While that doesn't exactly make his films pleasant, it certainly makes them unique in the history of American cinema...
