Nicholas Gage . Directed byPeter Yates , the film starsJohn Malkovich ,Kate Nelligan ,Linda Hunt andGlenne Headly .Synopsis
As with the book, the film is told in a
flashback format with Gage, now living in theUnited States , returning to his nativeGreece to solve the mystery of his mother's death when he was child. The film looks back to the effect of the 1940sGreek Civil War on the remote Greek village of his upbringing, and he investigates what happened to his mother afterCommunist guerillas invade the village. The main difference between the film and book was that the film focused more on the adult Gage and his investigation, while the book had more focus on Gage's impoverished small-town childhood.External links
