Abstract
In this chapter, legendary critic David Thomson revisits Alan J. Pakula's The Parallax View, one of the signature “paranoid thrillers” of the 1970s—a film that offers itself as a color film noir for the 70s. According to Thomson, Pakula's exploration of paranoia was as filled with delight as dread. Looking back, we can see the film as a step in the progress of Warren Beatty (the star you dare not trust), as Pakula painted a portrait of the spreading unease of the era with an evocation of the anti-social killer personality - a type that would be terribly fulfilled in the years to come.
