Review of The Confession (1970) by Andy S — 02 Nov 2017
A very tough subject material to watch but a very important one at that. Seeing how conniving and evil parties can be just to get the information they want to hear out of someone, even if it isn't true, is a very frustrating but interesting thing to watch. And what's even more noteworthy, is that this really happens is still happening. Torture tactics and secret confession trials.
The only problem I have is tat the movie could have been reasonably shorter. It felt like the confessions and the talking went on and on with no end. And being that this is a Costa-Gavras film, he probably did it intentionally to make the viewer uneasy. Well, it worked.
Overall, very powerful political movie about construing the truth through confessions. Remarkable and pretty important film.
