Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Luc Merenda was a staple of Italian poliziotteschi films, essentially the genre's poster boy for mustaches and moral ambiguity.
Shot during Turkey's turbulent late-70s period, the film exoticizes Istanbul while barely acknowledging its actual political violence.
