“After 28 years, Coppola's cerebral classic of paranoia and surveillance still looks outstanding, and more relevant than ever…a severe and gripping masterpiece.”—Guardian
The Godfather saga notwithstanding, many consider The Conversation writer/director Francis Ford Coppola’s finest work. Gene Hackman is magnificent as Harry Caul, an intense, withdrawn surveillance technician. When Caul and his associates record a conversation between two people in a park, a conscience-stricken Caul fears that delivering the tape will lead to dangerous consequences. The Conversation is a masterpiece on every front, with Coppola’s directing matched with a brilliant cast and Walter Murch’s intricate sound design.

Trivia:
The meaning of Harry's last name, Caul, is a fetal membrane sometimes present at birth. This ties in strongly with both Harry's transparent rain jacket, which he wears for the majority of the film, and also the fact that Harry is occasionally viewed through a translucent sheet of plastic when threatened, such as by his rival during the party scene.
