Although the political shady film's character relationships have never been straightened out, the editing, soundtrack and cinematography are so neat and...

#CC# The power struggle between communists, conservative government, military and Constantine II threw Greece into turmoil in the 60s. 22 May 1963 Greek Social Democrat Grigoris Lambrakis was assassinated after his anti-war speech (including raids and beatings at rallies, followed by a savage blow to the head) and subsequent military coup of 1967 . These events make political murder a reality in Gafras' images. The title refers to the ancient Greek verb Z, meaning "his life", which became a...

Top-notch editing, and the soundtrack is impressive. Or prefer the downright satire of "Citizens Undoubted" (but this one is earlier and more innovative?). The prosecutors in the film are too righteous, and the reporters are too professional—in a movie that doesn't have much time for character building, the characters inevitably tend to be masked. Which is darker, a society where conscience is suppressed or where conscience does not...

With sharp shots and refined language, Costa-Gavras' political shady film is a true satire, exposing sordid politics for what it...

The hypocrisy of the dictatorship (actually, the military government of Greece) is unmistakably exposed in this film. The film is adapted from real events in Greece, and it seems very real. The soundtrack of the film is also good. Ironically, the person who made the soundtrack for the film, Mikis Theodorakis, was once arrested by the Greek military...

Some parts are too dramatic and unreal, perhaps for satirical...

1970 The 42nd OSCAR BEST FORIEGN PICTURE, a political shady film!

The film won the 42nd Academy Award for Best Editing and Foreign Language Film. A very, very good political shady movie. The film reflects the brutal persecution of the proletarian movement in the 1960s, and also reveals several characteristics of an autocratic government: suppressing free speech, prohibiting mass gatherings, demanding absolute loyalty to superiors (rather than the people), collaborating with gangsters, and arbitrary surveillance , abuse of power, corruption, advocacy of ethnic...

1. In front of the regime, one realizes how small the power of the masses is; 2. The truth becomes a lie, the witnesses become lunatics, and under the regime, black and white are turned upside down; 3. What is the truth? Those in power speak the truth; what is justice? The ruler is justice! 4. It was a time when everyone was in...

Definitely a movie worth seeing at least once. Editing Françoise Bonnot won an Oscar, and she went on to cut Legion of Shadows (her mother was Melville's cut of some of her previous work), and Gabriel's The Great Disappearance, which I think compares to that. One, "The Big Missing" is more difficult to show the editing...
