We will be broadly looking at films centred on political assassinations/attempted assassinations/cover-ups/conspiracies. The starting point for the discussion will be Costa-Gavras’s Z and Dibakar Banerjee’s Shanghai, which are adapted from the same source text – but we will also touch on a number of other films, including some key American political thrillers of the 1960s and 1970s. Among them: The Parallax View, The Manchurian Candidate, Winter Kills, Executive Action, Seven Days in May, JFK.
I have sent downloadable film links to my email group – if anyone else wants to be on the mailing list, please mail me (jaiarjun@gmail.com) or leave your ID in the comments here.
