“Love Costa-Gavras. Where is Z?... I met him and I talked to him about Z. I said, “You know, you invented the political thriller.”... Because of my conversation with Costa-Gavras, I’m going to take home The Confession, which I’m sure will be as exciting and perfect as Z, which is one of the all-time greats.”
