Welcome all to another 70’s film deep dive with us, your decade under the influence crew.
Today’s offering is KLUTE (1971) directed by Alan J Pakula and starring The 80’s work out lady, the guy that Joss Whedon says ruined the Buffy movie, the man in need of a bigger boat, and Charles Cioffi. Don’t you forget the rad cinematography by Gordon Willis.
All Jokes aside Jane Fonda is the best, Donald Sutherland is rad, and Alan Pakula is tops (see our watch n review of all the presidents men movie #26)
Will we love this film about a cop investigator lost in New York looking for a missing friend and finding Fonda. Will they survive the clutches of a murderer with crazy vintage tape recorders? Listen with us, or even grab your copy of Klute and watch with us. We watch a ton of 70’s films and we like to gab, you just might learn something, or you may just scream at your phone or computer that we suck, and don know shit, who can tell.
This film is part one, in what is known as Pakula’s paranoid trilogy. Klute, all the presidents men and the parallax view. Fonda who plays Bree Daniels here has some of the best Fiercest dialogue ever!
She won the academy award for best actress for Klute in 1972 and her acceptance speech was one the shortest ever, getting up and sayin that there is a lot to say and she is not going to say it here tonight, thank you.
