Rialto Pictures presents Z, in a new 35mm print, in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary presentation, opening April 3, 2009 at Landmark’s Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles.

From acclaimed political filmmaker Costa-Gavras (Missing, State of Siege) comes Z, a high-tension, edge-of-your-set action thriller that closely parallels the real-life assassination of Gregorious Lambrakis, a Greek doctor, humanist and peace movement leader whose murder in 1963 by a group of right-wing terrorists led to an abortive public scandal. Hailed as one of the best political thrillers ever made, the suspenseful drama features superb performances by a top international cast, including Yves Montand (Jean de Florette), Jean-Louis Trintignant (Red) and Irene Papas (Zorba the Greek). Original music by Mikis Theodorakis. Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Film Editing. New 35mm print in honor of the film’s 40th Anniversary. (France/Algeria, 1969)
