The Parallax View (1974)
Starring Warren Beatty as a newly sober, brash reporter, this verrrry 1970s drama addresses the rash of assassinations that darkened the 1960s, and imagines the possibility of a great conspiracy behind them.
It’s the second film in director Alan J. Pakula’s so called “Paranoia Trilogy,” which also includes 1971’s Klute, starring Jane Fonda as a blunt-talking sex worker, and 1975’s All the President’s Men, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Woodward and Bernstein.
The Parallax View is the much action-packed of the films, with an unexpected set piece involving lots and lots of water.
