This idiosyncratic political film, winner of the Bronze Leopard at Locarno in 1993, focuses on greed and conspicuous consumption, and portrays its terrorist characters as bourgeois—motivated more by a prospective vacation than political conviction. Ideology, the film seems to suggest, is now dead, and its motivations suspect.
