Biography by Wikipedia

Costa-Gavras is a Greek-French film director and producer who lives and works in France. He is known for films with overt political themes, such as the political thrillers Z and Missing (1982), for which he won an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay. Most of his movies have been made in French; however, six of them were made in the English language: Missing (1982), Hanna K. (1983), Betrayed (1988), Music Box (1989), Mad City (1997), and Amen. (2002). The majority of Gavras' films are produced by the director himself, through his production company K.G. Productions.
