Book Presentation:
"Mark Campbell's study of The Parallax View (1974) situates the film within its historical moment of paranoia and delusional conspiracy, analyzing the ways in which it not only reflected its political and social contexts, but also actively constructed an understanding of political history as driven by shadowy conspiracy. He contextualizes the film as an adaptation of Loren Singer's 1970 pulp novel by the same name, and highlights the role of influential cinematographer, Gordon Willis, in constructing the visual style that was essential to the filmic representation of paranoia"
