Z
Repression may be the rule of the afternoon within this film that skewers Greek governance of the 1960s. A rabblerouser, Z, is murdered in what seems to be a traffic crash. But given the political climate, such a dominant activist's death raises troubling questions. A postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was behind his death though it's too late to conserve the lifetime of Z. Those that tell the facts pay the price for their honesty as the truth leak out.
