In this Academy Award winner—loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis— a prominent politician and doctor is killed, after giving a public speech, in what appears to be a traffic accident. But given the political climate, the death of such a prominent activist raises troubling questions. An investigation is launched to try to dispute claims of a police conspiracy, but a postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was behind his death. And a tenacious magistrate is determined not to let them get away with it.

Paris Without End (1959-1965)

In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
