 | | In the wake of the John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations of the 1960s and fueled by the later Watergate scandal, the film had tremendous resonance with American audiences, becoming one of the highest grossing foreign language films ever released in that market. |
 | | Based on the novel by Vassilis Vassilikos, which was itself based on the 1966 "Lambrakis Affair" in Greece, "Z" is at once a political thriller and satire. |
 | | Lambrakis, a popular leftist legislator (Yves Montand), is murdered, and evidence mounts of a conspiracy implicating police officials. |
