Francis Ford Coppola's classic 1974 thriller 'The Conversation,' starring Gene Hackman, returns to the Nuart in a new 35 mm print.
But the heart of “The Conversation’s” appeal, then and now, is the way it combines an exceptional character study, a thriller plot and an ability to superbly convey the unease of a society where blanket surveillance is getting to be the norm.
Awkward and enigmatic in person, Harry goes to great pains to avoid human interaction. His apartment is guarded by three locks and an alarm system, he has no home phone anybody knows about, and his most revealingly personal moments come when he takes out his saxophone and plays along with jazz records.
But if their conversation is so innocent why, as we gradually become aware, are Harry, his top assistant Stan and an entire team of surveillance technicians using the most up-to-date technology to record their every word.
