Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 seminal neo-noir thriller The Conversation symbolises the uneasy 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, released on Blu-ray and 4K UHD 18th November 2024 from StudioCanal, is a harrowing psychological thriller that co-stars Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest and Harrison Ford.
