À propos de ce film

The Parallax View, a superb drama about one man's paranoia that turns out to be total, incredible fact, ranks amount the best political thrillers. Warren Beatty is a news reporter who, along with seven others, witnesses the assassination of a political candidate. When the other seven die in "accidents," the newsman begins to doubt the official position: that a lone madman was responsible for the crime. He imagines a sophisticated network of highly trained murderers. But his nightmares pale against the bizarre truth he uncovers.

Notes et avis

Watched this movie for the first time last year, I was totally gripped right to the end. I hope they never ruin this with a remake. The parallax test montage is outstanding and shows what the music composer Michael Small is capable of. Love this movie.

Brilliant political thriller of the post Watergate/Vietnam War era. My favorite Warren Beatty flick too.

If you like political intrigue and want to see Beaty in his hay day. (Or is that "hey" day? What a weird phrase.)
