The Confession (1970 film)
''The Confession'' ((フランス語:L'aveu)) is a 1970 French-Italian film directed by Costa-Gavras and stars Yves Montand and Simone Signoret.
It is based on the true story of the Czechoslovak communist Artur London, a defendant in the Slánský trial. Gavras did not intend the film as an anti-communist film but a plea against totalitarianism and particularly Stalinism.
==Plot==
The film is about Artur Ludvik, alias Gerard, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs of Czechoslovakia. He realizes he is being watched and followed. One day, he is arrested and put into jail by an organisation that declares itself "above the ruling party" and put in solitary confinement for months without being told the reason why. Through brainwashing techniques, including sleep deprivation and being forced to walk back and forth all the time, he is slowly pressured into confessing imaginary crimes, including treason, and to repeat this confession in a public court. Years later, he meets his now demoted tormentor, who tries to downplay his role at that time.
Yves Montand lost more than 15 kilos to play his role. Montand had been shaken by the 1956 events in Hungary and later said of the film: "There was in what I inflicted upon myself (this role ) something of an act of ''expiation''."〔''Paris Match'', p.63, 21 November 1991 No.2217〕
