Playing All Angles with Saffron Maeve - THE PARALLAX VIEW (1974)


Listen Later

In the worlds of Alan J. Pakula, one thing is paramount - trust no one. Your hosts are happy to make an exception to that rule this week as they are joined by Saffron Maeve, a fellow UofT student, a writer with featured publications across sites such as ScreenSlate and MUBI, and most recently, the recipient of the Canadian Cinema Scope Reader's Choice Award! Much like Warren Beatty's shaggy-haired Frady, this episode follows their investigative odyssey jumping everywhere from its brilliant noir underpinnings, to brief physics and American history lessons, and even a brief sojourn in the realm of video games! There's something about this film that makes it just as potent today as it was 50 years ago - and true to the podcast's namesake, join us as we occupy another viewpoint in our own parallax view!
