About This Movie

A Law-Abiding Citizen is a 1974 film that combines elements of drama and comedy. Directed by Finos Film, it explores themes of familial control and societal pressures through the story of a young man named Gregory.

The film follows Gregory, a young man overshadowed by his autocratic mother. Struggling with the expectations placed upon him, he grapples with feelings of servility and frustration, particularly regarding his mother's influence over his relationships.

As Gregory faces challenges in his love life, with his fiancée Soula unable to comprehend his desires and his true love Julia ultimately leaving him, he finds himself at a breaking point. His rebellion against family expectations leads him into a spiral of confusion and madness, as he confronts the pressures of tradition and conservatism embodied by his mother and uncle.

A Law-Abiding Citizen presents a unique blend of drama and comedy, making it a compelling watch for fans of films that delve into personal and social struggles. Its exploration of complex family dynamics and the impact of societal norms resonates with viewers who appreciate character-driven narratives.

The film has had a somewhat obscure run in the collector’s market, with few prints available, making it of particular interest to those focusing on niche 70s cinema. It was initially released on VHS, then later on DVD, but the scarcity of clean copies adds to its allure. Collectors often appreciate its thematic depth and the unorthodox narrative style that sets it apart from more mainstream offerings of its time.
