Walter Goodman New York Times In answer to the question posed by Janos, ''How could this have happened?'', we are shown a society beaten down by an imposed ideology, where hero worship is substituted for ordinary human feelings and people prosper and perish by political whim.

Audience Member A political film with a very clear message, but sill, confused and confusing plot. Too many jumps from one thing to the other. Difficult to follow. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
