Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Palme d'Or at Cannes, three Oscar nominations including Best Picture (which, amusingly, it lost to The Godfather Part II).
Great movie.
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoIn all fairness, Part II is absolutely incredible storytelling. Are you suggesting The Conversation is even better?! So excited for tonight's showtime — I'll make an updated reply here, tomorrow morning (with my viewreport).
- JKCalhoun 8mo agoI think they were simply musing as to how one Coppola film lost to another.
- ProllyInfamous 8mo ago[headsmack] gotcha, of course... ---- Just finished The Conversation (Godfather II rightly won best film); although it features a neat plot twist, I cannot imagine this film being re-watchable. Gene Hackman definitely acts his paranoid heart out, but his relationships with other characters are stuffy/forced. Too much dead air whenever he gets frustrated, almost as if there wasn't time to reshoot any scenes. The cinematography/editing is fine, but the sound quality is terrible (presume it only won best soundtrack due to new sound warping/garbling techniques — to a modern listener, it's also sort of a cheap schtick). Particularly with female speakers, subtitles are necessary; but then certain dramatic points are wayyyy too loud. ---- Thanks again for the rec — actually makes me less paranoid about the modern world... just gonna play some sax uncaringly =P
- rsync 8mo ago… also starring Harrison ford…
- ProllyInfamous 8mo agoI'm watching this right now... Ford is ssoo yyoouunngg! It also has Frodo from Godfather.
