THE CONVERSATION

“AN IMMACULATE THRILLER…a study in paranoia and loneliness, partly inspired by Antonioni’s Blow-Up , and released as the Watergate scandal was unfolding, [with] one of Gene Hackman’s greatest performances.”

“You know how some movies need to be seen on a big screen? The Conversation needs to be heard in an auditorium on the kind of equipment you don’t have at home. It’s an intricately constructed aural experience about the act of listening, and how sometimes our perceptions of sounds are shaped by what we want to hear.”

“A shout-out to Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-up , The Conversation perfectly encapsulates the disaffection, alienation, and paranoia infecting America’s body politic in the era of Watergate.”

“Celebrated in its time yet ahead of it, powerfully entertaining as well as prescient…as disturbing and unnerving as ever, if not more so.”
