Review of The Conversation (1974) by Reece L — 09 Oct 2015
It's a thriller and it's a character study, and both elements serve each other in ways that elevate the film. This is one of Hackman's finest performances. It's incredible to realize that the same actor who so completely embodied Popeye Doyle, completely embodies this timid, reserved paranoid man.
The most obvious accomplishment is Walter Murch's sound design. In many ways this film is defined by it's soundscape.
