 Film Review: Russians join Battle of Waterloo -- Napoleon still loses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
But where "Z" also came across as a fast and suspenseful melodrama "Confession" is slower, almost ponderous in its detailed examination of the facts.
"Confession" is the story of the Soviet-Bloc spy trial in Czechoslovakia in 1952 and is based on the account of that trial by Artur London, one of the three out of 14 defendants who escaped the death penalty.
The opening moments of the movie have a little of the thriller about them as Yves Montand as London, a Communist Party and government official, finds himself being followed in a very obvious manner.

The other is Lise Ricol London, whose husband, Artur London, survived hard labor to publish the first major account of the period: In prison he'd kept a diary, written on cigarette papers.

 Reason Magazine - Hollywood's Missing Movies
After hanging, the victims' bodies were incinerated; the film shows a policeman scattering their ashes on frozen roads around Prague, which was what actually happened.
For Yves Montand, who played Czech Foreign Minister Artur London, The Confession was "a farewell to the generous sentimentality of the Left, a Left that had been blind to its own crimes and cultivates a messianic pose, proposing to bring happiness to human beings, even if it means slaughtering them."
But Hollywood has yet to show itself capable of portraying what The Black Book of Communism, a recent scholarly assessment of communist crimes, calls "politically correct mass slaughter." In Eleni (1985), John Malkovich hunts down a Greek communist responsible for the death of his mother, but much of the hostile action takes place off screen.

Mister Freedom (Klein) (cameo as Capt. Formidable); Z (Costa-Gavras) (as Deputy Z); Le Deuxième Procès d'Artur London (Marker—doc); Jour de tournage (Marker and Depouey—doc)
Z and Etat de siège deal with the restriction of civil rights in Greece and Chile, respectively.
In L'Aveu, based on a book by Arthur London, one of the accused in Slansky's trial in Czechoslovakia, he created with a shocking persuasiveness the character of a man who suffers the monstrous power of a state determined to make good its charges of conspiracy, betrayal, and class and racial hatred.
