1971 · d. Alan J. Pakula
Starring Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, Roy Scheider, Charles Cioffi
P.I. John Klute suspects glamorous sex worker Bree Daniels may be tied to his missing-persons case. But Bree may be in terrible danger herself. This paranoid thriller is elevated by its psychological depth and outstanding performances from Donald Sutherland and the Oscar-winning Jane Fonda, whose portrayal of a complicated, self-aware woman upends common noir tropes.
This screening will be presented in conjunction with the film course Women in Noir, taught by Jennifer Fleeger, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
