114 mins – United States 1974 Director: Francis Ford Coppola Starring: Gene Hackman, John Cazale and Allen Garfield Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is a detached and paranoid surveillance expert who finds himself becoming a victim of the same modern technology he uses to destroy others. It begins with a seemingly routine job trailing an unfaithful wife and her lover. But when Harry visits the husband’s office to deliver the incriminating tapes he’s made of the couple, his client’s assistant tries to intercept him. Harry refuses to hand over the recordings and suddenly discovers that he may have captured a conversation about something that’s a lot more important than adulterous goings on. To mark the 50th anniversary of Francis Ford Coppola’s (THE GODFATHER, APOCALYPSE NOW) seminal neo-noir thriller, THE CONVERSATION is being re-released in Irish and UK cinemas with a brand-new restoration. “There's a strong case to be made for THE CONVERSATION being Coppola's greatest film. Which, when you consider what else he's made, is high praise indeed.” Film4
