    8.2/10 Any similarity in the content of the videos is not accidental, but purely intentional. The beginning brought disappointment, and it was not until the rally that people entered the play. The whole film is worthy of the word wonderful, and the ending was...

    Aside from the director's perverted ability to handle group scenes and mise-en-scene, what is truly immortal about this film is its courage to tell the truth almost 100%. So add one more point for...

    5.0 2018.4.29@French Cultural Center I rewatched it again and still think it was very good. From the beginning of the various military rank and medals, the obscene bald head, mouth, and hands close-up, it is really a capitalized visual rape. Instead of the prosecutor, the camera zooms in on each person's facial features and heart. Every scene is eye-catching (touching the lady's face and blinking / editing of several scenes of the hospital detective / editing of the news report at the...

    The ending can actually be better, and it can rise to a conflict between order and truth, but given the background of the filming, this satirical and allegorical approach can also be understood. The photo editing and a few big scenes are wonderful, and it's interesting to tell the audience 50% of the truth and then reveal the other 50% of the...

    It is like the production of an exiled Greek team, reflecting the domestic military coup, and the music is from Theodorakis, but it is not very impressive. It's idealistic, especially when a weak prosecutor makes a bunch of police bosses desperate. However, this is the power that the constitution can give. The ending is first to rise and then to suppress, revealing the resentment of the fall of the country. The highlight is the comedic treatment of gangsters and gangsters. The overall impact is...

    That ecstasy zoom lens and big scene. Gabriel's political films have melodramatic elements and are especially powerful in sensationalism. The film is clearly on the so-called New Left, but the procurator character's transcendence is interesting (he later became the President of Greece...). The ending is tragic politics. The best part of this movie is the editing. Grand Prize: Owai (representing DZ|FR is Rohmer's Mulder), Editing/Cannes Jury Prize + Best...

    Obviously there are too many bugs. The bats and bats are all soft conspiracy theories, or the old beauty shot...

    The shots and scheduling are remarkable, but fairly straightforward. Algerian cinema, like its suzerain, France, has a very hard-speaking...

    The foreign-language film that won the Oscar for best picture, the beginning of a political shady film, alludes to the Greek dictatorship. Getting better and better, the woman took the last sentence "Three years in prison for leaking official documents" shocking people. The zoom, flashback, and editing of the soundtrack are also praised, with a detective, thrilling, and farce style. Jacques Behan as...

    The political films I've seen before usually use symbols, metaphors, exaggeration, etc. to cover up and pretend; only Z is so frank and so ruthless; of course, in the eyes of TC's people, Laugh at...

    Politics, Cinema and Costa Gavras

    There are always hints about the emergence of new genres. "The French society of the 1970s was like an invincible Second Empire," says film historian Cicrière. "The period was full of money worship, widespread urban life, and greed for money, resulting in many real estate scandals, a political...

    Z - wonderful political satire

    In the latter part of the film, after one of the opposition representatives escaped a thrilling drive-by, he recounted the attack on Mr. Z to the judge. The tricycle galloped past, Mr. Z was hit in the head, surrounded by the crowd in pain, and finally fell to the ground with his head on his head,...

Z quotes

  • Matt: Hélène! Hélène! Hélène! They've all been charged, even the general. The magistrate didn't back down. You see? It's as if he were still alive. It's a real revolution. The government will fall. The extremists will be swept away. The elections will be a landslide victory.

  • Vago: This guy leaps onto the truck bed, lithe and ferocious as a tiger. He grabs me - and whoosh! Out I go into the street.

    Examining Magistrate: How did he leap?

    Vago: Like a tiger.

    Examining Magistrate: Before that.

    Vago: Lithe and ferocious as a tiger.

    Examining Magistrate: Yago used the same exact phrase.
