1969 must be one of the most political years in cinema. It's no surprise then that Z is a police thriller that deals with fascism, socialism and capitalism, though at its core it offers a pretty basic police investigation where some dedicated investigator goes to great lengths to solve a mysterious cover-up. Z is an amusing film, but that's about it. The political context is little more than dressing and the investigation is very by the numbers. More and more clues push the investigator into the right direction, who doesn't have to do much but wait until everything is thrown into his lap.
