Haunting picture exposing the oppressive communist system!!
30 August 2020
It sounds me better when I watched it on first time in 1992, today l have a nerve to watch it again still knowing all about previously, Yves Montand plays a French Vice-Minister, he is arrested at Iron curtain by his red mates after a suppose suspicious of treachery during his stays at Spain on WW I, all their fellow comrades were in jail too, an overlong process of interrogation takes place, on non-linear storyline Costa-Gravas imposes a disturbing and recurring on exhaustive procedure, Gravas as well-known political director exposes the communist party in his main essence of his existence, control all their affiliates where each other watching themselves, a merry-go-round that never stop, for newcomers like myself when l was around twenty it haunting me so deeply, due I never seen anything like that in my country as witness of course, the own communist establishment collapses on late eighties firstly on the motherrland URSS after all around at Europe, exposing their weakness and flaccidity, as true rotten political regime, the Capitalism was not the better system or the right answer at all, however works due the each one has to pursues his place on the society for own efforts only, whilst on communism nobody gives his best anytime, thus the breakdown is a matter of time, then it reached without mercy to totalitarianism and Marx,Trótski Lenin, Stalin were burired for good!!
