JFK

Oliver Stones sprawling, controversial epic about the assassination of John F. Kennedy is a landmark in conspiracy cinema. Through the eyes of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, the film weaves a complex web of military-industrial complex intrigue. While historically debated, the film is undeniably powerful as a piece of agitprop, using rapid-fire editing and a mix of film stocks to create a sense of overwhelming, fragmented truth.

It is a visceral, high-energy experience that demands the audience engage with the 'what-ifs' of history. It remains a polarizing but essential watch.
