...after the movie's American premier. Costa's portrayal of the Tupamaros, Uruguay's urban guerilla group, is far from simple and far from idyllic. The movie, despite the charges of propaganda, is relatively hardnosed and intelligent compared to some of the documents that come out of Hollywood. Yves Montand, star of Z, takes on the new role of villain in this movie. The film was scripted by Franco Salinas, who also wrote the screen play for The Battle of Algiers. The film will be shown at the Science Center tonight and tomorrow at 7 and 9. Danny Schechter...
...Guerre Est Finie isn't playing at the Science Center because it's playing at the Brattle, and it's really too good and too intelligent a movie to miss. Alain Resnais directed and Yves Montand starred in this account of the trials and tribulations of the Old Left revolutionary, and the sympathetic understanding they convey about politics as a vocation surpasses a lot of the stuff sociologists have written on the subject...
...Guerre Est Finie is a political essay about the remnants of the Old Left revolution, directed by Alain Resnais and starring Yves Montand. The film is not casual entertainment in any sense, and if that's what you're up for this week see something else.

Resnais's movie will touch you, inform you, will make...
...Marxist critic, and as a radical hype by Pauline Kael. She liked the message of the movie which castigated American imperialism; what she disliked, and rightly, was he slick surface that injects the message into your veins without giving you the data needed to consider the issues raised. Yves Montand has the sort of impeccably cool father face perfect for the part he plays. His role is based recognizably on the life and death of assassinated AID official Dan Mitrione, who was trained in the U.S. to operate in close undercover conjunction with the repressive police in Brazil and Uruguay...
State of Siege. Costa-Gavras' latest political drama (following Z and The Confession) written by Franco Solinas who scripted The Battle of Algiers. Yves Montand has the sort of impeccably cool, unimpeachable face which is perfect for the part he plays. His role is recognizably based on the life and death of assassinated AID official Dan Mitrione, who was trained in the U.S. to operate in close undercover conjunction with the repressive police in Brazil and Uruguay. Montand is perfect because this dream of a family man, whose actions are propelled by a pure form of bourgeois liberalism...
