Details

Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 seminal neo-noir thriller The Conversation symbolises theuneasy line between technology and privacy - a topic more relevant than ever today.

Nominated for 3 Academy Awards® and winner of the prestigious 1974 Cannes Film Festival Palme D'or The Conversation is a tense, paranoid thriller, regarded as one of Coppola's greatest films.

Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is an expert surveillance expert in San Francisco. His routine wiretapping job turns into a nightmare when he hears something disturbing in his recording of a couple; he may have captured something a lot more important than adulterous goings-on.

His investigation of the tape and how it might be used sends Harry spiralling into a web of secrecy, murder and paranoia.

The Conversation is a harrowing psychological thriller that co-stars Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest and Harrison Ford.

With brand new artwork by Laurent Durieux, rigid box packaging with magnetic closing, 64-page booklet with 4 new essays, original soundtrack cassette tape and orignal and new posters, The Conversation is released as a Limited Edition 4K UHD Collector's Edition 15th July 2024 from StudioCanal.
