Released in 1973, Ιωάννης ο βίαιος is a notable film directed by Tonia Marketaki, running about 180 minutes.

What it’s about. At midnight, on a deserted Athenian street, a beautiful woman named Eleni Chalkia is fatally stabbed by a stranger, who immediately disappears into the shadows. The murderer is Ioannis Zachos (Manos Logiadis), a young man lacking in both mental and sexual stability, who lives out his erotic fantasies through purifying violence. He often fantasizes about killing beautiful women, in this way compensating for his deficient manhood and satisfying his passion for power. When he is arrested, he immediately confesses his crimes, which is a relief to the police, who have been accused of gross ineptitude by the press. During the trial that follows, the relentless question, “who is ultimately guilty? Man or society?” is again raised.

Who’s in it. Ιωάννης ο βίαιος stars Manolis Logiadis as Ioannis Zahos, Vangelis Kazan as Investigator, Nikitas Tsakiroglou as Prosecutor and Nikos Glavas as Iraklis, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.7/10, Ιωάννης ο βίαιος has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
