Review of The Parallax View (1974) by Chris R — 01 Aug 2007
The definitive 70s paranoia film, Parallax View has a confused, enigmatic quality. Scenes aren't specifically tied together through rhythm or pace, the film seems more assembled through association and motifs.
Beatty's character is like a phantom idea, whistfully breezing through people and events tied to overall conspiracy. The downside to this is at times the film feels sketchy and disjointed, but this also helps evoke the queasy machinations of events that are primarily out of Beatty's control.
