Parallax View, The

USA 1974, 102 minutes
Dir. Alan J. Pakula
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime

Feat. Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn, Paula Prentiss

Aroview: Intelligent, stylish paranoia thriller with Warren Beatty as a renegade reporter investigating an unfolding political conspiracy involving a covert organisation, and the mysterious deaths of witnesses to a senator's assassination three years earlier.

Dir. Pakula and ace cinematographer Gordon Wills invest the action with a precise, dispassionate aesthetic, presumably inspired by the (then) recent work of Stanley Kubrick.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) It's more a collection of masterful set-pieces than a coherent whole. The airliner sequence is particularly impressive, achieved almost without dialogue. Top marks for Willis, production designer Jenkins and Michael Small's unsettling score. ~HiFi
