 Rating:  - GreatThere are some works of art that are obviously derivative of others, and obviously inferior, because they simply ape the earlier work, tweak a few minor things, and try to pass off their theft as `homage'. The Conversation (1974), written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is not one of those minor works. It has a manifest endebtedness to Michelangelo Antonioni's brilliant 1966 film, Blowup, yet it does not merely ape that film's existential dilemma of an accidental photograph possibly cluing ...

I feel like I wasted 2 hrs. of my life watching this thing. Two better films on intrigue are "The Falcon & the Snowman" and "Three Days of the Condor". |
