A film that recognises the power of sound in developing narrative and creating suspenses.
The film has a blurred feminist message.In this scene Jane Fonda’s character Bree talking with a psychiatry gives us the impression that she is talking straight with us.
The same time she looks as an independent, sophisticate and modern woman, she is in true,insecure and looking for a man who will give her security. Bree is a very complex character, strong and insensitive with her clients, fragile and confused with love.
Fonda after won the best actress Oscar for Klute, positioned herself as a feminist and anti-war campaigner. She went to live in Vietnam to show solidarity against the USA.
