THE EXPERIENCE

Part of our weekend-long exploration of Coppola’s legendary filmmaking, The Conversation invites audiences into the life of Harry Caul (Gene Hackman), a brilliant but deeply isolated surveillance expert hired to record a seemingly mundane conversation between a young couple. Widely regarded as one of Coppola’s greatest achievements, this masterpiece blends suspense, ethical ambiguity, and atmospheric sound design to chilling effect.

To round out your Coppola weekend, check out our screenings of Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, before he visits the Tomorrow Theater in-person on Sunday, August 3rd!

ON SCREEN: The Conversation

1974. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Runtime: 1 hour 53 minutes. Rated PG.

Harry Caul, a professional wiretapper known for his meticulous skill and guarded privacy, takes on an assignment to surveil a couple as they walk through San Francisco’s crowded Union Square. But as Harry analyzes the tapes, he begins to suspect a sinister plot—forcing him to grapple with guilt, responsibility, and the fear that his work may cost innocent lives.
