The Conversation (Coppola, 1974): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.45pm
This 35mm presentation also screens on May 4th. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Gene Hackman excels in Francis Ford Coppola's tasteful, incisive 1974
study of the awakening of conscience in an “electronic surveillance
technician.” Coppola manages to turn an expert thriller into a portrayal
of the conflict between ritual and responsibility without ever letting
the levels of tension subside or the complicated plot get muddled. Fine
support from Allen Garfield as an alternately amiable and desperately
envious colleague, plus a superb soundtrack (vital to the action) by
Walter Murch—all this and a fine, melancholy piano score by David Shire.
Don Druker
Here (and above) is the trailer.
