OSCAR SNUBS: Klute (1971)
In a decade of darker, boundary-crossing films, this week’s film is just under the rader for having some of the darkest undertones of all. And that’s beyond the fact that it might be one of the best portrayals of sex workers on screen, refusing to judge its subject on anything but her actual character. I mean, yes she is being stalked by a violent powerful man to get murdered, but it has nothing to do with her means of income. the problem is that this movie is just plain weird, and not for any real reason. But it’s worth the price of admission for Jane Fonda giving an absolutely stunning performance. Sit back and relax and fall lin love with Bree as we watch Klute on Have a Good Movie!
