Costa-Gavras' 1969 film 'Z' continues to resonate with audiences today, despite its Cold War-era setting in an unnamed Mediterranean country. The movie, based on real events in Greece following the assassination of a pacifist candidate, skillfully weaves a tale of political intrigue and resistance.
The film's international production team brought together talent from various countries, with dialogue in French and a plot inspired by a book from a Greek author. Critics hailed 'Z' as a groundbreaking political thriller, drawing comparisons to Hitchcock for its suspenseful storytelling and universal themes.
