Z (1969) (8/10)

Z is about an idealogue very pertinent to the current world where nuclear weapons are spreading left and right. It is about a peaceful, Gandhian way of protesting against superpowers and nuclear armament. As usual, people whose interests lie with furthering the arms and their followers, often blind, brand such people leftists and communists (and these days as seculars) and try to do away with them. When the police join in with such "rights", it becomes a deadly combination. Otherwise well-meaning politicians (is there such a thing?) can also then be afraid to raise their voice. What about the judiciary? Is that arm which is supposed to separate church and state, and rule impartially capable of managing that pressure? How many men does it take to change a light bulb, really? Seriously recommended. BTW, its French.
