A '60s landmark. [31 Oct 2003, p.C6]
A chilling, manipulative rollercoaster ride.
One of the fastest, most exciting melodramas ever made.
Z is disquieting not only because the events actually happened, but because we sense they could happen again, closer to home.
Z is a punchy political pic [from the novel by Vassilis Vassilikos] that mixes action, violence, and conspiracy on a robust, lavish scale.
Z doesn't communicate anything—except for the doubtful propositions that pacifists are more threatening to right-wingers than communists and that fascist terrorism and homosexuality go hand in hand.
