Very effective political thriller crackling with nervous energy and narrative verve, plotty but assuredly handled by a director very much favoured by the movie Gods.

I'll never be accused of being a political firebrand for any side, but this movie makes you wonder about uncontrolled governments and the secrets that they keep. While there are some choppy moments (a few of the flashbacks were cryptic) and there are a lot of characters to keep track of, this political thriller -- based on real events -- is played like a jigsaw puzzle, waiting (almost teasing) to show the final solution. Still relevant today.

God damn, what a plot. Such deft pacing, such fluid juggling of so many characters and story beats. And then the fake-out happy ending. Perfect. I had a blast watching this. The fight in the back of the three-wheeled truck is genuinely one of the most thrilling action scenes I've seen in a good while.

evrensel siyasi tarih farklı ölçeklerle de olsa bu olaylar etrafında döndüğü için, yani gerçeklik doğrudan bu olduğu için hikaye anlatımında ister istemez farklı yaklaşımlar gerekiyor, zira öbür türlü sıkıcı bir "şu oldu, bu oldu" ötesine geçemiyor. z bunu, bugün için bile, hayranlık uyandırıcı biçimde başarıyor. temaların sağlıklı keşfini sürükleyici biçimde ve harika kamera kullanımıyla aktarıyor, ki friedkin'e ilham olması da bu başarısını

Ultimately drama-less, the anticipation devices were there, with scenes allowing the audience to see what occurrence was planned & perhaps dread it playing out before them, but Gavras is no Hitchcock & the soft nature of his direction and ill discipline in the command of pacing and in turn, tension, left the film deflated. I can appreciate the timing of this film however, and the leaning of its ideology, given the events of May 68.

[MMWTM3K#15] To be honest I'm quite underwhelmed. Script is good, but unimpressive direction and cinematography makes it not that engaging experience. Can't believe I'm saying this but I actually believe it would be much better if it was shot more in American style.

Much acclaimed. Brilliant in places, but leaves a nagging hole in the heart after watching. Of something unpleasant, something dark and deep. I appreciate the greatness of it but don't much like the feeling it left me with at the end.

Gavras' international breakthrough is widely regarded as the ultimate political procedural thriller for good reason. While its politics are dated, as well as manipulative, it isn't a problem because the film functions knowingly as a blunt instrument, deconstructing a right wing conspiracy that lead to the murder of a liberal Greek politician with righteous fury. It's perhaps unfortunate that it had to be made in French, but it is tense and gripping and laced with mordant wit.

A lot of strength in the directing and editing departments, yet as impressive as they may be, they still work to serve the story rather than detract from it. Engaging film with a deep sense of political injustice that seems very transparent here, though loses just a bit of steam in the second half as the story strands branch out even further.

Costa-Gavras pulls no punches, in fact he drops bombs. Z is angry and confrontational agitprop, perhaps self-righteous, but made with infectious wit and energy. Indeed, an ironic sense of humor moves the film away from obvious tragedy and into the realm of satire. Although thinly veiled historical fiction inspired by specific events, its anti-establishment attitude - a contempt for corrupt and unaccountable authority - will probably never cease to resonate with young generations and new ideals.

I think it is interesting in its subtle tone when dealing with the "society du spectacle" and the regime of desire it creates though less than it tries to be documentary like and present the "reality" with a capital R. I enjoyed its meticulous effort to reveal all the concealed power relations within the state apparatus but at the end it comes to an optimistic and easy solution which makes the movie's attitude to overt and too propagandizing.
