Der Dialog (1974)
36KDer Dialog: Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Allen Garfield, Frederic Forrest. A paranoid, secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that the couple he is spying on will be murdered.
“The Conversation is a stark look into the modern art of surveillance and its affect on one of its practitioners. Harry Caul (Hackman) is at the top of his business, but heu0026#39;s disturbed. Highly paranoiac, he is troubled by bad things that happened to some innocent people as a result of a prior surveillance job. Now heu0026#39;s afraid itu0026#39;s happening again….u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Conversation could not be more antithetical of the current movie making style. Stark, claustrophobic, unsexy, slow-paced, and with almost no soundtrack, it slowly builds to its dramatic noirish denouement.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA real treat, and as an added attraction the actors include a young Cindy Williams, Terri Garr, John Cazale, and Harrison Ford. Worth the rental unless anything outside of the MTV mould causes agitation.”
