I must admit, I'm beginning this entry with a bit of trepidation. The film I'm writing about this week, Costa-Gavras's Z (1969), combines a large number of elements that tend to distress certain moviegoers, making it a dicey choice on my part. So before I dive into those elements, I'm going to start by just telling you what happens in the film, because it's a darn good story.
Great review. This movie is EASILY in my "Top 10". Edge of your seat with serious meaning. 5 stars.
