Alan J. Pakula: Parallax View
built 613 days ago
While he had brought some uneven fare to the big screen in recent years, most notably last year's "The Devil's Own," Pakula made a name for himself with such stellar early works as "Klute" and "The Parallax View." Pakula ... had a distinguished run as a producer, including his first project, 1962's Oscar-nominated "To Kill a Mockingbird." Pakula was said to be working on an adaptation of the book "No Ordinary Time" to direct next year.

In turning his attention to the tale of how Woodward and Bernstein broke open the Watergate case, Pakula, with All the President's Men, seemed to be grasping for comfort after the bleak view of Parallax. President's Men portrayed its lead reporters as countercultural heroes, and showed that the system... flawed, can correct itself and crooks can be brought to justice -- even if they're residing in the White House.

By now emerging as the foremost director of the ‘thinking man’s thriller’, the 1970s signalled the advent of Mr Pakula’s so-called ‘paranoia trilogy’. A series of conspiracy thrillers, ‘Klute’, ‘The Parallax View’ and ‘All the President’s Men’ all scored highly at the box office and are today considered to be some of the best films of the decade.
