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 20: Klute
High-end call girl Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda) is being watched, followed, and possibly targeted -- caught between her past, her instincts for self-preservation, and a growing fear that she may be the key to a man’s disappearance. When small-town detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) enters her life, his investigation opens old wounds and unsettling truths.
As Bree struggles to reclaim control over her own story, the film becomes a study in surveillance, exploitation, and the terrifying vulnerability of being seen.
"Fonda makes all the right choices, from the mechanics of her walk and her voice inflection to the penetration of the girl's raging psyche. It is a rare performance." —Jay Cocks, Time Magazine
"A movie resolutely of its moment that still surges with third-rail electricity." —Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
