Marc Eliot’s Art of Film

“...yet everything else here — the gritty supporting players, the conspiracy theories and the Central Park finale — marks the pinnacle of 1970s paranoia thrillers, as Hoffman’s Jewish graduate student is sucked into a shadowy world of postwar spooks.”
-Times (UK)

Part of a new cycle of Marc Eliot’s Art of Film, based on the American New Wave, Marathon Man boasts a brilliant script, with twists and turns all the way up to the end. Guest curator of film Marc Eliot has recorded pre- and post- talks for a deeper dive into the film.
