The Hunters, the next film in the trilogy, is, in comparison, a grim black comedy, where a corpse stands for Greek society, or at least its ideals. Some very funny scenes in this, but the next moment you're reminded of the insane historical import of them - like the new prime minister being selected by draping a robe over his naked torso, in a parody of investiture, by some conspirators.

These films are a great crash course in 20c Greek history too, from a defiantly biased leftwing perspective.
