Gene Hackman listens in on The Conversation.
Francis Ford Coppola’s brilliant 1974 thriller The Conversation finally on Blu-ray — and we’re psyched!
The film stars Gene Hackman (Riot) as surveillance expert and wire-tapper Harry Caul, a seasoned professional with a troubled past who makes a point of keeping his head and heart far away from the projects he takes on. Unfortunately, Harry’s latest job, seemingly a routine one, turns out to be more than he bargained for when he’s caught inside a web of deceit, secrecy and murder that threatens not only his safety, but also his sanity.
A small thriller that packs a powerful punch, The Conversation was written and directed by Coppola in between The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather: Part II (1974). Looking back now, the movies — all modern classics — are arguably the finest trio of consecutive bull’s eyes of their era.
A three-time Academy Award nominated film, (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Sound), The Conversation co-stars Robert Duvall (Get Low), the late John Cazale (Dog Day Afternoon), Frederic Forrest (Apocalypse Now) and a young up-and-comer named Harrison Ford (Morning Glory).
Fully restored for its high definition debut, The Conversation on Blu-ray includes the following bonus features, many of them new or never before seen:
- new interviews with Coppola and composer David Shire
- archival footage
- audio commentaries
- making-of featurette
- retrospective featurette
- short film
- marketing gallery
