The Conversation

1974, Movie, 1h 54min

The ultimate Watergate-era paranoia thriller, Francis Ford Coppola’s cold-sweat neonoir stars Gene Hackman as Harry Caul, an obsessive audio-surveillance expert who has been hired to track and secretly record a young couple.

Masterfully wringing tension from its intricate sound design, THE CONVERSATION is a tour de force of psychological suspense as well as a hauntingly prescient vision of life in an age of mass surveillance.
