Mikis Theodorakis, Costa Gavras - Z (1969)

[@funkyalfonso]

A forgotten masterpiece. I saw it in 1969 aged 15 and had to read the book. It made a big impression on me. First time I've seeen it since. Thanks for the upload.

[@Lyras71]

A great movie! I did see it more than 10 times! No greek should forget how hard was our way to become a democracy again, after civil war, oppresion and military dictatur ship !!!

[@condensedclassics]

When it comes to pure cinema this was a thrilling, fast paced, highly involving motion picture that deserved all the awards, honors & accolades it received. I first saw it in NYC when it opened in 1969 & it was a new innovative documentary type of filmmaking.

[@coralarch]

This is the only film where I've seen an audience give a standing ovation.

[@garrison6863]

An utterly excellent film based on a true story, and that story is followed pretty closely. The direction and acting and editing and music are all first class.

[@kacakmazot]

good film... I think Mikis Theodarakis is a fascinating composer...ı can not think this film without musics of Mikis. In my opinion greek people are very lucky of having a artist called Mikis Theodarakis... greeting from Turkey

[@fightback397]

A country borns their poets , musicians , writers ...we are the children of the land .

[@heliotropezzz333]

I agree with you translationwiz. This is a great movie and the best I've seen. I remember the electric effect when I first saw it in the cinema years ago, and I've never forgotten it.

[@pejvak1950]

i loved and love this movie, i was 15 when i watched Greeting form Canada

[@coralarch]

Best political thriller of all time. The mob scenes are so well done that it's impossible to believe that they are acting. Irene Papas as the widow is simply heart-breaking. 6 stars.

[@FrankGreco78]

One of my favorite films by C.Gavras. He transfered the magnificent novel 'Z' of V.Vasilikos in the wide screen at 1969, few years only after the tragic insident (G.Labrakis assasination, May 1963) by creating a master piece! A history lesson for the new generations!

[@Mazurka1001]

great film, great music, great director.

[@behnamameri233]

I think Z is the best politic movie,i saw it many many time.I love it from Tehran,Iran

[@simonerosi3327]

Wherever decent people fight for change, this is and remains a must. Bless Iran.

[@LatynaH]

l'aveu, etat de siège sont aussi tres bons

[@gpan62]

Christos Sartzetakis was the jurist indicting the military officers. He later served as President of Greece, after the restoration of democracy.

[@contessakitty]

Mikis Theodorakis was in exile at the time he composed the soundtrack.

[@hondacb750four]

Die Musik ist fantastisch 👍👍👍

[@MaziarPersian]

One of the best films ever made, and the soundtrack is nothing less than a masterpiece.

[@panagiotamarinou4195]

Υπέροχη ταινία του Costa Gavra, βασισμένη σε πραγματικά γεγονότα (GRE). Καταπληκτική μουσική του Miki Theodoraki

[@fabvier]

The movie(1969) was filmed in Algeria and France because from 1969 and for the next 7 dark years Greece was ruled by the military Junta.Apparently the film (that finctioned the events relating to the assasination of the democratic Greek politician and peace champion doctor Grigoris Lambrakis) could not be filmed in Greece.

[@queenmusicfreak86]

For those who dont know, events shown on this movie are ALL real and happened in Greece of the 60s.

[@oares00]

This is a great movie and should be circulating on the internet. Please can someone upload it on a torrent. It must be seen by the youth!!!

[@JoseCorrea]

Exellent Work! i saw "Z" the last year and reading the book right now, it was a very great political/social film, my favorites, the music of theodorakis is powerful and beauty,very goog the last part of the video with originals photos of lambrakis! power to the People!

[@Miguel53de]

I don't think it is forgotten. But yo are right, a masterpiece. Film, music, story 9after a real one), perfect combination

[@heliotropezzz333]

The crowd and fight scenes are so real, it seems alsmost like a documentary and it's so gripping from start to finish. I love the part where the generals are told to leave by a certain door if they want to avoid the press, after being indicted for murder, and the door is locked and their indignation on being subject to the legal process.

[@Reza.Pezeshki]

This movie reminds of the current situation in Iran and the Iranian youth movement. I would like to pay tribute to all the young souls who were sacrificed for freedom in Iran. I love you all

[@doctorwho87]

This is one of my favorite movies. Favorite scene has to be from 5:30-7:30. And the best part is 6:25 when the typewriter is dubbed over the score.

[@HSaenz09]

Amazing film score; I'm going to buy the LP when I have money.

[@closedwater]

Based on a novel of Vasilis Vasilikos, "Z" is about the assasination (1963) of Grigoris Lambrakis, a distinguished athlete, doctor and politician, as well as an active pacifist and humanitarian. Gia na min ksexname.

[@nat7bgtt]

I found the book of Vasilikos in my library a couple of days ago! thanks anyway.

[@jiraija12345]

Grigoris Lamprakis will live for ever!

[@ferfecirkara]

[@heliotropezzz333]

I don't know whether anyone responded to your enquiry but I bought a second hand video from amazon but that was more than a year ago. I've not seen it on DVD but it may be available.

[@nevilleprinsloo]

I'd so love to watch this film!

[@regimesoftruth]
