I am not sure whether this is Coppola's best work, but The Conversation is a wonderful film. Yes it is slow, but it is also gripping and intelligent and effortlessly done in terms of acting and directing. The film looks wonderful, typical Coppola really, wonderful cinematography and beautiful(yet gritty) sceneries. The music is superb, and very memorable, it is actually one of my favourite scores in a Coppola movie along with The Godfather and Dracula. The script is brilliantly written, the story is ceaselessly compelling and the direction is fabulous. The acting is great across as the board, but Gene Hackman and John Cazale are superb and carry the film splendidly. In conclusion, excellent film. 9/10 Bethany Cox
