Directed by Alan J. Pakula
Starring Charles Cioffi, Roy Scheider, Dorothy Tristan, Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda
Playing as part of Academy Cinemas' 'Dangerous Desires' Film Festival March 25 - April 09.
With her Oscar-winning turn in KLUTE, Jane Fonda reinvented herself as a new kind of movie star. Bringing nervy audacity and counterculture style to the role of Bree Daniels—a call girl and aspiring actor who becomes the focal point of a missing-person investigation when detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) turns up at her door—Fonda made the film her own, putting an independent woman and escort on-screen with a frankness that had not yet been attempted in Hollywood.
Suffused with paranoia by the conspiracy-thriller specialist Alan J. Pakula (ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN, THE PARALLAX VIEW), and lensed by master cinematographer Gordon Willis, KLUTE is a character study thick with dread, capturing the mood of early-1970s New York and the predicament of a woman trying to find her own way on the fringes of society.
