Chappaquiddick (2017)
(The Senator)
Country: US/SV
Technical: col/2.35:1 106m
Director: John Curran
Cast: Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, Ed Helms, Bruce Dern, Clancy Brown
Synopsis:
July 1969: with the Moon landing only hours away, Senator Edward Kennedy leaves a party on Martha's Vineyard with his brother Bobby's former secretary, leading to a scandal that would scupper any future chances at the Presidency and split the family apart.
Review:
A chilling reconstruction of events which, while keeping veiled (or half-veiled) certain elements, exposes the extent to which deference and the dignity of office could be called into service when cover-up there needed to be. What exactly took place between the couple, and how he got out and she did not, remain conjecture and the makers don't go there, which lends all the greater weight to where they do.
