Costa-Gavras' Z

“New Releases”

“Remember when the movie ads used to say ‘It will knock you out of your seat’? Well, Z damn near does.” (Pauline Kael)

As vital and driving today as it was forty years ago, this pulsating story of the coverup of a Greek politician’s assassination forever changed the way thrillers are made. Featuring an all-star cast (Yves Montand, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Irene Papas), unparalleled propulsive force, and lightning-quick editing, Z was a worldwide smash and the winner of both the Cannes Jury Prize (awarded unanimously) and the Best Foreign Film Oscar. New Print!
