JFK (1991)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 189m
Director: Oliver Stone
Cast: New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison is deeply shocked by the Kennedy assassination, a few years later follows up on evidence suggesting a conspiracy by launching criminal proceedings against an influential local socialite.
Synopsis:
Stone's persuasive conspiracy thriller becomes another chapter in his Vietnam fixation, laying blame for the assassination squarely at the door of military top brass in the Pentagon anxious to keep the wheels of the defence industry rolling. It's a cinematic tour de force, deploying archive footage and reconstruction with such skill that the difference is impossible to spot and editing the whole thing like a pop promo at times. The acting's good too, but it's Stone's film and its undeniable impact was instrumental in bringing to light records that were not due to be made public for some years.
