Z
is a 1969
Algerian
-
French
political
thriller film
directed by
Costa-Gavras
, with a screenplay by Gavras and
Jorge Semprún
, based on the 1966 novel of the same name by
Vassilis Vassilikos
. The film presents a thinly fictionalized account of the events surrounding the assassination of democratic
Greek
politician
Grigoris Lambrakis
in 1963. With its satirical view of Greek politics, its dark sense of humor, and its downbeat ending, the film captures the outrage about the
military dictatorship that ruled Greece
at the time of its making.
