...conflicting impulses of his roles as observer, returning revolutionary, reunited friend and working journalist. His former cellmate (Joe Urla) pecks away at poetry but works primarily for a malign, fanatical government minister. In rich and subtle performances, the opponents lacerate each other with unwelcome truths as they strive to rekindle affection.
