PART OF A LINCOLN FILM SERIES: TRUST NO ONE
CLICK HERE FOR MORE
Join us Tuesdays in May for our new film series: TRUST NO ONE: PARANOID THRILLERS FROM 1970s AMERICA.
In the 1970s, a number of factors -- the rise of the counterculture, increasing distrust in governments and corporations in the wake of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, the fall of the Hays Code and the subsequent emergence of American auteurs -- combined to create a sub-genre of film: conspiracy-laden suspense-thrillers where everyone is being watched, all the phones are bugged, and all nails that stick out must be hammered down. Trust No One, indeed -- these four films embody that ethos in spades.
May 6: Three Days of the Condor
CIA analyst -- "a book reader" -- Joe Turner (Robert Redford) returns from lunch to find his office invaded, forcing him to go on the run while unraveling a vast conspiracy.
Even within his own agency, he discovers that secrets and betrayal are standard operating procedure. Seeking answers and survival, he pulls a reluctant stranger (Faye Dunaway) into his dangerous world.
"Three Days of the Condor is a well-made thriller, tense and involving, and the scary thing, in these months after Watergate, is that it's all too believable." —Roger Ebert
"This peerless Sydney Pollack thriller hasn't just aged well, it's become positively prophetic, or at least eerily resonant." —Kevin Maher, Times UK
