Adaptation Displacement: Based on a book by Vassilis Vassilikos, though the movie is much better known.
Award Snub: The producers refused to accept the film's Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film to protest it being ineligible for the main Best Motion Picture Drama award. They had no trouble accepting the equivalent Oscar, as the film was nominated for Best Picture there too (the first Foreign Language film nominated for both awards).
Moment of Awesome: The Prosecutor brings forth tons of high officials, proceeds to take them apart in testimony, and then arrests them. The fact that they chose the prosecutor, thinking he was pushover, just makes it better.
