The Conversation, it's called, and it's a volcano of a movie, an absolute sensation. I liked it better even than The Godfather... The fun of seeing it for the first time is all your's and I envy you. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Coppola may have made films of a more spectacular nature but here he makes a virtue of a introversion - so that the film's horror moment is all the more vibrantly terrible when set in relief. Full Review

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. Full Review

Product Description:

The Conversation is regarded as one of Francis Ford Coppola's greatest films. 

Two-time Academy Award® winner Gene Hackman (Unforgiven, The French Connection) plays a paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert who has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is spying on will be murdered.  This tense thriller makes some remarkably advanced arguments about technology's role in society that still resonate today.

In addition to Apocalypse Now, The Conversation was Coppola's only other film to win the prestigious Palme d'Or at Cannes.
