As Lithe and Fierce as a Tiger: Costa-Gavras' Z

Описание к видео As Lithe and Fierce as a Tiger: Costa-Gavras' Z

A video essay on Costa-Gavras' groundbreaking and entertaining political thriller Z (1969). The film is based on the events surrounding the political assassination of Greek pacifist and social democrat Grigoris Lambrakis (1912-1963). But the Greek expatriate filmmaker Costa-Gavras brings a universality to the proceedings as he doesn't mention any names and avoids other specific details. In fact, it's one of the aspects that still keeps Z enduringly relevant.
