Directed by Emile de Antonio • 1971 • United States

Emile de Antonio’s portrait of Richard Nixon deconstructs the controversial American president without editorializing, instead deploying archival footage—newsreels, speeches, interviews—to paint a damning picture of the man via his own words. Spanning Nixon’s career from his tenure as red-baiting congressman and vice president under Dwight D. Eisenhower to his unsuccessful run for California governor and ascendancy to the presidency, MILLHOUSE offers a scabrously subversive look at the origins the kind of grievance politics that would come to define much of American political life in the decades since.
