Re: Costa-Gavras

I do not find "Z" a bore. I find "Z" realistic. Having been one of the few contributors to this group old enough to have heard Hanah Arendt; her comment about evil is stunningly profound. The most staggering thing about evil is that it is so banal and so ordinary. A film that makes it special and extraordinary is untrue.

Having met people who survived Idi-Amin in Uganda (Obote II was worse, actually) and having been in Uganda, Angola, Kenya, India and witnessed the Shell House shootings of the Zulus the comment rings so true it is shattering.

The spelling I know and found would seem to be Costa-Gavras rather than Costa-Gravas. Have you a reference I should look up?
