Patriots

1980 · 90 min

A dry, talky satire of bureaucratic greed that amuses mildly while quietly suggesting nothing will ever really change.

Genres
Comedy
Overview
The fraud of officials, the thirst for money and a good life, their immorality is compared with the decency of the intelligentsia, intrigue and fear of losing everything when power changes; comical situations are created, but it seems that you don’t have to believe that something will change, because the office of an official changes decent people too....
