Z - Members only screening

  • The Landmark Centre 129 High Street Deal CT14 6BB United Kingdom (map)

FREE members’ only screening of this rarely seen classic (you can become a member / renew membership on the night).

Introduced by our Deal Film Club patron, the distinguished critic Derek Malcolm.

This 1969 thriller stands out as both a powerful political melodrama and a high-tempo action movie.

Z (Yves Montand), a leftist rabble rouser, is killed in what appears to be a traffic accident. But given the political climate, the death of such a prominent activist raises troubling questions. Though it's too late to save Z's life, a postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was behind his death. As the facts leak out, those who tell the truth pay the price for their honesty.

Directed by Costa-Gravas, Z was the first film and one of only a handful to be nominated by the Academy Awards for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film.

FREE to existing Deal Film Club members + free glass of wine (or non-alcoholic drink) included.

You can join/renew membership on the night for £10 (cash please!)
