About The Last Wager
Orestes is a journalist who used to be part of a radical left-wing group. When two of the people who sent members of this organization to prison are murdered, the police accuse him of being responsible. He, being in a difficult and troubled psychological and ideological state, will accept the role of scapegoat.
Directed by Kostas Zirinis, The Last Wager leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Olbrychski, Katerina Razelou, Christos Tsagas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1989.
