    Yeah that's by comrade Costa-Gavras. He's a Marxist, and generally made excellent communist films that often served to report on events that had occurred in the recent past, often within a few years of occurring.

    Missing is good, but definitely no where near as based as his earlier work. His most famous is Z (1969) about the 1960s military coup in Greece. My personal favourite is State of Siege (1972) about the Tupamaros abducting and killing Dan Mitrione in Uruguay.

    A deeper cut (definitely a lesser work but more contemporary) is Adults in the Room (2019) about the Greek financial crisis, based on Yanis Varoufakis' memoirs of the same name
