French director Claude LeCroix's American political thriller. Amidst the background of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, LeCroix weaves a tale involving the murder of a senatorial aide, the CIA, various members of the Mafia, and local inhabitants of O'Malley's Southside Bar. When Jimmy Callahan (Frank Wesler) stumbles upon the notebook of the murdered victim, he is suddenly thrust into a serious of cryptic events that seem to indicate a future assasination plot. Even more upsetting is the realization that he is being set up as the assasin! Fine performances by all, especially newcomer Natasha Wu's chilling portrayal of a psychotic hit woman known only as "the Nun". Filmed in Black & White. (143 mins.)
