A paranoid, secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that the couple he is spying on will be murdered.
Our read: The Conversation (1974) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded thriller entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Heavy, measured, measured thriller, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
