An explosive political thriller that follows Jim Garrison’s obsessive pursuit of a conspiracy behind JFK’s assassination.
In Oliver Stone’s JFK, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison becomes consumed by the belief that President Kennedy’s assassination was not the work of one man. As evidence, testimony, memory and suspicion collide, Stone builds a furious, urgent investigation into power, secrecy and doubt, a political thriller driven by obsession and unanswered questions.
Rialto Recommends JFK is Oliver Stone at full force: angry, propulsive and impossible to ignore. Blending courtroom drama, investigative thriller and feverish political collage, the film turns history into a storm of images, names, fragments and conviction. Whether taken as argument, provocation or cinematic thunderclap, it remains one of the great American conspiracy dramas.
