Although it is seldom seen today, in 1970 Constantin Costa-Gavras’ “Z” picked up both the Unique York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Portray and an Academy Award as Best Foreign Film. In the wake of the John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations of the 1960s and fueled by the later Watergate scandal, the film had colossal resonance with American audiences, becoming one of the highest grossing foreign language films ever released in that market.
Based on the modern by Vassilis Vassilikos, which was itself based on the 1966 “Lambrakis Affair” in Greece, “Z” is at once a political thriller and satire. Station in an unnamed nation, it presents a politician who is strongly considerable of American and Russian nuclear get up and his nation’s participation in it. Denounced by the state quo as a communist, he is met with civic obstruction when he arrives to give a speech and afterward is struck down and killed by a speeding truck in the streets. A drunk driving accident, according to local officials. An assassination, according to his entourage.
Although the film has a somewhat insensible and dangerous get, once fully underway it becomes a rapid-fire series of sharply edited scenes in which the sloppy assassination situation is unraveled by a dispassionate magistrate sent to conduct an investigation–an investigation plagued by assaults on witnesses and civic cover-up. But in such a sinful society, can the corpulent truth ever be known?

Director Costa-Gavras walks a very radiant line here, presenting the characters as archetypes but endowing them yet endowing with enough human emotion to occupy our interests and sympathies. And the cast is distinguished, with Yves Montond, Irene Papas, and Jean-Louis Trintignant particularly distinguished. The script is at once chilling and covertly silly, jeering at officialdom around the corners of its more serious business, and the overall leer of the film–particularly in the violent crowd scenes–is truly memorable.
The film has been restored to a pristine condition in its fresh widescreen and the DVD offers a number of language subtitles (including English) in easy-to-read yellow script. Bonus features are miniature, but include the current trailer, samples of restoration work, and an extremely lively conversation between novelist Vassilikos and director Costa-Gavras. Consta-Gravas also offers an audio-commentary–in French, which will be frustrating for those who (like me) do not hiss the language.
Although some viewers may not even explore the satirical tone of the film, and while some will be effect off by its distinctly liberal slant, I contemplate most viewers–including those who don’t normally care for foreign film–will bag “Z” a spellbinding dawdle, particularly if they enjoyed the likes of JFK or THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. Time may have dimmed the origins of the section, but sadly the subject of governmental corruption and the mendacity of powerbrokers remains as timely as ever.

GFT, Amazon Reviewer
Z is a political thriller with few action scenes,none of the “thrills” associated with conevntional thrillers. The Assassinate takes position fairly early on,and it is distinct who is respnosible. The thrill is in the dogged investigation by an incorruptible magistrate{interesting comparison to Stones’s JFK},which leads to the highest seats of government. Based on a terrific original by Vassilis Vassilikos{and an respectable screenplay by Jorge Semprun},this tells the narrative of the cancel of the Greek parliamentarian and doctor Gregory Lambrakis.That it was a political assasination is definite,though the complicity is so multilayered that it appears that the truth will never approach out. Yves Montand is,as usual, superb as Lambrakis [referred to as Z throughout the film.Z comes from the Greek verb zei, HE LIVES} Irene Pappas is his suffering wife{and widow}. Costa-Gavras travelled this territory often, {the Confession, Missing} though not with this brilliance. The editing is crsip,leading to the sense of breathlessness among the defendents. I will leave the ending to the viewer.This is probably the best political thriller that I have ever seen, and 31 years later,is till friendly,if not shimmering
