describe "Silence of the Lambs," similarly, couldn't one? I mean, wasn't Clarice's pursuit a key piece?
"Z" was boring, that's my main gripe. I didn't fault it for not making the city's fear a centerpiece: it didn't convey it at all.
The reenactments, excepting the first one, lacked any suspense or tension. I'd say poor direction.
It wasn't hideously bad or anything. Now, if you want a far superior film which goes down the same road, see the Korean masterpiece, "Memories of Murder."
I'd be very interested to hear your opinion.
