Klute (1971)
7/10
Klute (Donald Sutherland), a private detective, is hired by a company exec to find a missing company man. This leads Klute to Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda), a freelance call girl, who is seeing a shrink due to inner emptiness. As Klute closes in on answers, people start dying and finds things are not as they appear.
The film is technically a noir (or neo-noir) thriller, but there really isn't a lot of suspense. Although it explores the odd and darker mindsets of the prostitute and the john, the film is more about the relationship between Fonda and Sutherland. Bree's insightfully written insecurities are evocatively performed by Fonda during three visits to her psychiatrist.
