  
An extraordinary and devastatingly powerful film, Attila 74 confronts the real-life
tragedy of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The film "is history in the
making. Remarkably, Cacoyannis manages to sustain at once a passionate
engagement and a wide historical view--perhaps because he is seeing events
always in terms of people" (Times of London). The film, wrote the L.A. Times,
"is at once a deeply personal record and a formal work of art with a structure
and a tragic sense of the inevitable, worthy of Euripides." Greek with English
subtitles.
