A Movie About Poor Communications Skills, 22 January 2000

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 he'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 he's afraid it's happening again....
The 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.
A 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.
