Film screening in memory of Robert Redford (1936-2025):
"Three Days of the Condor"
(Sydney Pollack, 1975, 117 min, United States, English, DCP)
"In Sydney Pollack’s critically acclaimed suspense-thriller, Robert Redford stars as CIA Agent Joe Turner, code name: Condor. When his entire office is massacred, Turner goes on the run from his enemies… and his so-called allies. In his frantic hunt for answers, and in a desperate run for his life, Turner abducts photographer Kathy Hale (Faye Dunaway), eventually seducing her into helping him. With nowhere to turn and no one to trust, Turner realizes his most dangerous enemy may be closer than he ever feared. As he zeroes in on the truth, he discovers there are some secrets people would K*ll to keep." – American Cinematheque
"Redford, Dunaway, Von Sydow, Cliff Robertson and John Houseman turn in superb work, and the film is as pure a thriller as one could hope for, with a gripping premise, hurtling plot and a marvelous air of menace." – NetFlix
"This peerless Sydney Pollack thriller hasn't just aged well, it's become positively prophetic, or at least eerily resonant." – The Times (UK)
"[A] well-made thriller, tense and involving, and the scary thing, in these months after Watergate, is that it’s all too believable. Conspiracies involving murder by federal agencies used to be found in obscure publications of the far left. Now they’re glossy entertainments starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway. How soon we grow used to the most depressing possibilities about our government—and how soon, too, we commercialize on them." – Roger Ebert, 1975
