The Conversation Blu-Ray

Francis Ford Coppola's groundbreaking neo-noir thriller THE CONVERSATION from 1974 symbolizes the difficult boundary between technology and privacy—a topic that is more relevant than ever. Nominated for three Oscars® and winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, THE CONVERSATION is a suspenseful, paranoid thriller considered one of Coppola's finest films. Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is an expert in surveillance in San Francisco. His routine eavesdropping job turns into a nightmare when he hears something disturbing in his recording of a couple; he may have captured something much more important than marital affairs. His investigation of the tape and how it might be used leads Harry into a spiral of secrecy, murder, and paranoia. THE CONVERSATION is a chilling psychological thriller starring Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, and Harrison Ford. BONUS MATERIAL Q&A with Walter Murch, filmed at Curzon Soho, 2017p>
