I’ve seven every frame of this movie in reality Iran. I’ve lived every second of this great movie. Whoever lives under totalitarian regimes will connect with this great movie. I recommend you to watch the ‘state pf siege’.
Went to this as a 15 year old thinking it was a spy film. Little did I know that this excellent film would be the beginning of my political consciousness. I didn't understand it, but was enthralled. I read the book but it still took years before the full impact of what was contain in this celluloid took effect. Now I consider one of the top 3 films I have ever seen. I had the chance to go to a lecture by Vasillikos who wrote the book and didn't go. I kick myself to this day.
@@hanneloremurphy3406 - You mean the opposite of this is going to happen in the USA, right? There's currently an imposter/war criminal in the Oval Office pretending to be the president of the US, who will be removed by the US army somewhere in the next couple of months, because of massive voter fraud by his party and the CIA, in collusion with China. It's definitely going to be an interesting time!
@@ComradeHellas comrade you really shouldn’t be supporting Biden lmao he’s the Mitsotakis of the USA. He’s a right wing capitalist loser and a war mongerer.

This is one of the greatest movie ever. people must be awaken , in fact the whole world is sleeping and those rulers are enjoying th emoment, we have to wake up and create a Free world. Freedom is right of every human.

I saw it in a a theater in 1969 or 70, when it was first came to the US. I was in college. I was floored and outraged since I saw much of the same here from the establishment right wing. I see it now, but it is Antifa and the establishment, far-left Dems who wear those shoes. The establishment deep state protects itself no matter who has been in power. Not since they took Jack, Bobby, and Martin - then Reagan - have we had even a small chance to defeat it. But, this time DJT has a chance ....
@@jfhunt Wow. I too saw it in a theater in my youth in college. I was also floored and outraged, and it probably was the most important political film of my life. But I STILL see this as coming from the right, the new cultured neo-Nazi's like Stephen Miller and DJT (and Barr)are the enablers that allow this to flourish. It is hard to believe we are living on the same planet, having digressed so far since then. Antifa is fairytale, a unicorn, which even as a non-existent organization, with no structure or leaders except as an "idea" opposed to fascists, would have nothing in common with the "Deep State".
At the time of release, Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert, who named Z the best film of 1969, liked the screenplay and its message, and wrote, "[Z] is a film of our time. It is about how even moral victories are corrupted. It will make you weep and will make you angry. It will tear your guts out...When the Army junta staged its coup in 1967, the right-wing generals and the police chief were cleared of all charges and 'rehabilitated.' Those responsible for unmasking the assassination now became political criminals. These would seem to be completely political events, but the young director Costa-Gavras has told them in a style that is almost unbearably exciting. Z is at the same time a political cry of rage and a brilliant suspense thriller. It even ends in a chase: Not through the streets but through a maze of facts, alibis and official corruption."[5] In 2006, James Berardinelli wrote, "Z was the third feature film from Greek-born Costa-Gavras, but it is the movie that captured him to the world's attention, winning a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. It introduced the director's signature approach of combining overt political messages with edge-of-the-seat tension."[6] Jonathan Richards wrote in 2009, "It's hard to overstate the impact that this Oscar-winning procedural thriller had in 1969, on a world roiling in political activism, repression, and discord. In the U.S., the Vietnam War was on the front burner, the populace was passionately engaged, and the police riots outside the '68 Chicago Democratic Convention and the murder of Black Panther Fred Hampton were raw wounds. With this stylish, intense indictment of the assassination of a leftist political leader by a right wing government cabal in his native Greece, director Costa-Gavras struck a nerve that resonated here and around the globe."[7] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 95% "fresh" score based on 39 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The site's consensus states: "Powerfully effective, this anti-fascist political thriller stands out as both high-conscience melodrama and high-tempo action movie."[8] The film was selected to be screened in the Cannes Classics section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festiva
To this day, nine movies have the shortest titles ever, all with one single letter. Costa-Gavras’ “Z” (1969) is one of those. Quite a record❕ The meaning of “Z” : At the very end of the film, a message states : “Also the military regime banned […] the letter ‘Z’ which means ‘He is alive’ in Ancient Greek.” “Z”* was 1) the first motion picture to be nominated by the Academy for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film; 2) the second non-English film in Academy history to be nominated for Best Picture, after Jean Renoir’s “The Grand Illusion” (1937). “Z” has inspired the work of - at least - two famous directors, namely Oliver Stone and Steven Soderbergh. Unsurprisingly, Costa-Gavras’ political thriller** is included in “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die”, edited by Steven Schneider. Three main stars passed away in 2022, a couple of months from each other : 🌹 Jacques Perrin (April 2022), 🌹 Jean-Louis Trintignant (June 2022) and 🌹 Irene Papas (September 2022). 💚🎬💙 * Many minor roles were played by members of the crew for budgetary and logistical reasons. In the end, it paid off though, since the motion picture grossed some $ 17.3 million in the USA alone. ** “Z” was based on the 1966 eponymous novel by Vassilis Vassilikos.
This movie describes the whole 60s and 70s political troubles (Greece, Turkey, Chile, maybe a bit lighter even in France). One of my all time favourites.
I saw "Z" when it came out and I was 11 or 12 - too young to really understand it. But I can't forget the gut-wrenching tension and visceral outrage it elicited in me.
The movie of Costas Gavras describes the execution of Gregory Labrakis,a Greek leftish politician who murdered from Neo-Nazi group in Thessaloniki,North Greece!!
Decent for a french trailer of that era, but such a long trailer really takes away a lot of the tension and mystery a trailer should retain. Anyway, amazing film for sure.
The movie is based on the book Z written by Vasilis Vasilikos. The book is talking about the murder of the greek deputy Grigoris Lamprakis. The pronunciation of the letter Z in greek sounds like the word Ζει which means he lives. The author did a brilliant job with the title
Eccellente pellicola basata su una storia vera, sull' omicidio del politico socialista Lambrakis, la sceneggiatura è interessante e coinvolgente, c'è una notevole tensione, c'è un buon intreccio narrativo, gli scontri tra le opposte fazioni politiche sono un pò banali.
It was banned because of censorship back when we literally had no freedom of speech in Greece because it dealt with a controversial issue - the murder of a prominent leftist figure, a doctor called George Lambrakis

Every actor was perfect in their roles, particularly Irene Papas as the grieving widow..
Yes but her name is not politically correct anymore it should be changed to "Mamas"!

Rip Mikis Theodorakis for the soundrack!
A perfect film can't believe I didn't know about this masterpiece for this long.
One of the greatest movies of all time and a great lesson in democracy for us, the (already) free world.
Costa Gavras est un visionnaire.
"You are accountable only to your conscience, after God". Rest in Power, Christos Sartzetakis.
Amazing cast, amazing director, amazing movie. Gavras knew how to turn his bleak political films to actual cinematic experiences.
ΓΡΗΓΟΡΗ ΖΕΙΣ! ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ! The movie is based at the real MURDER of GRIGORIS LAMBRAKIS! HE LIVES IN OUR THOUGHTS!
This movie describes the whole 60s and 70s political troubles (Greece, Turkey, Chile, maybe a bit lighter even in France).
One of my all time favourites.
Whilst the Greek junta were in power this excellent film was banned in Greece,
All journalist have to watch this movie which raises awareness on information.
I wanna watch this video all day
The courageous prosecutor in this film, Christos Sartzetakis, became President in 1985-1990, and died today, aged 92
¡Extraordinaria! Y la música! ..sin palabras
Its an epic 'historic film 'beside Kostas Gavras 'making only gut films 'with meaning 'thank u all
