Thom says: “This historical drama is about Greek hero Ioannas Varvakis who rose from being a Greek pirate to an international Russian caviar baron who has the ear of Catherine the Great. Later in life he returns to Greece to join the Revolution against the Ottoman Empire. This film was inept on a grand scale with the worst costume design I’ve seen in many years. A high school play wouldn’t have been this atrocious. I have no idea what attracted Deneuve & Cleese to this fatuous project. 1 Cat”
