Summary:
"Any resemblance to true events, with faces alive or dead, is deliberate!" the sincere rage that runs through Gavras' classic political thriller becomes apparent in every frame, from credits to looks, from demonstrations to interrogations, and at every possible intermediate point. Based on the novel of the same name by Vassilis Vassilikos, which concerns the murder of EDA MP Grigoris Lambrakis by parastatals in the turbulent 60s for Greece, Z (read "lives", from "lives, lives, lives" and not "zeta") has as its starting point the attack on a political figure of the opposition (Yves Montan) and the immediate attempted cover-up, following the subsequent investigation by an investigator (Jean-Louis Tredinian) determined to bring the true facts to light. But what can be the price of truth in such a corrupt and politically unstable environment?
