THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR

THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR
by SYDNEY POLLACK
Country: USA
Year: 1975
Duration: 117'


Joe, code name "Condor," works in a CIA field office, where books and newspapers from all over the world are read to identify codes and secret operations. One day, he goes out to buy lunch and, when he returns, he discovers that all his friends and colleagues have been assassinated. Condor asks for help, gets vague replies, and realizes that he has to hide. A crepuscular and distressing thriller, marked by the melancholy of interrupted encounters (the beginning of a love story between Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway), one of Pollack’s best movies.
