Title: The Confession
Review: I first saw this film in a theatre in Munich while I was statlioned there in the Army (1972). It was stunning. Years later, it was shown on the A&E channel (about 1992). Since then, I have tried to track it down on VHS or DVD, but no luck (I want it NTSC with English subtitles as I do not speak French). About five years ago, Costa Gravas was interviewed and he stated that its anti-communist message was not welcome in Hollywood, and that the film was being repressed. A bit of research that I did brings out the fact that the film is based on the experiences of Rudolph Slansky, and it is quite accurate as to Stalinist methods of repression. As a movie, it cannot qualify as "entertainment;" just too gripping and horrifying. It has been compared to the quasi-novel, "Darkness at Noon," which was loosely based on the tragedy of N. Bukharin's liquidatilon by Stalin in the 1930's.
