  • Summary

  • In this our first episode, Devon and Doug delve into the 1971 film 'Klute,' directed by Alan J. Pakula. They explore the film's themes of style, sex, and the complexities of human relationships through the character of Bree Daniels, played by Jane Fonda. The conversation highlights the film's unique cinematography, the detective's journey, and the portrayal of addiction and despair in the underbelly of New York City. We also tread cautiously while exploring the movie's haunting performances, particularly by Dorothy Tristan, and the significance of her character. The hosts also get into the film's iconic elements, such as the shag haircut, and the creative journey of Paul McGregor, who popularized it. The conversation also touches on Klute's lack of actual "detective skills" the disturbing violations of privacy depicted in the film, and the intense climax (heh) involving the antagonist. We also reflect on Jane Fonda's transition from actress to activist, highlighting the film's legacy and its reflection of the societal politics of the 1970s.
