State Of Siege 1972 Criterion 1080p BluRay x264 DTS-SARTRE torrent

Like most of Costa-Gavras' political thrillers, the French State of Siege is based on a true story. The incident dramatized herein is the kidnapping of a U.S. official somewhere in Latin America. The director's sympathies clearly lie with the kidnappers, especially since the official (played by Yves Montand), ostensibly an expert in traffic control, has been assigned as special advisor to the government's secret police, training these worthies in the art of the torturing of political prisoners. Uruguay was the country where this story actually took place; though no names are given, there's little doubting the identity of Costa-Gavras' fictional locale. Despite its up-to-date radicalism, State of Siege adheres to time-honored Hollywood formula, with ugly, vulgar bad guys vs. handsome, articulate good guys.

Extras
--------

- NBC News Broadcast on Dan A. Mitrione (8 min, 720p): The character Yves Montand plays in State of Siege, Philip Michael Santore, was inspired by the real-life figure of Dan A. Mitrione, who was kidnapped by the left-wing radical group Tupamaros in Uruguay on July 31, 1970. Presented here are excerpts from NBC's coverage of the kidnapping case. These excerpts originally aired from August 8 to August 12, 1970.
