Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Writer: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Allen Garfield
A paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is spying on will be murdered.
Saw it again the other day. Sandwiched between Godfather 1 and 2, Conversation is a film that gets overlooked by many. It is almost as good as the other two and it is sad that Coppola petered out after Apocalypse Now. The film came out before Nixon resigned because of the Watergate Scandal but the film's creation was not influenced by the scandal. Coppola had cited Antonioni's 'Blow Up' as an inspiration for this film and it is one I want to get my hands on.
Rating: 5/5
