The Parallax View + intro

Conspiracy and creeping paranoia seeps through every frame of Alan J Pakula’s The Parallax View – even the architecture and the soundtrack communicate dissonance and unease. Made two years before Pakula’s definitive Watergate film, All the President’s Men, here Warren Beatty is a reporter who becomes caught up in the fallout from seeing a Presidential candidate assassination – a shockingly dramatic opening sequence. Beatty’s reporter is drawn deeper into the corporate and political conspiracy enveloping him.

Featuring an introduction by Kino Klubb’s Joey Bell

Screening as part of Out of Their Depth: Corruption, Scandal and Lies in the New Hollywood, presented by Cinema Rediscovered and Park Circus.
