Review of Z (1969) by Luke B — 13 Mar 2010
An important film in terms of technical ability, storytelling, and it's message. Z deals with the assassination of a political figure, and an alleged cover-up that may run deep into crevices of the government and establishment.
Z manages to tell a complex story, but keeps us engaged with the characters by building upon them as the plot unfolds. One fascinating technique, has silent flashes from character's pasts. This helps paint a canvas outside the realm of the film, without being distracting filler.
For such a talky film, it manages to keep a well timed pace using it's beautiful musical score and the perfect editing. Riveting.
